Some of the videos are positively scary.... It's amazing how clam some of these people are. The truth is unless something is blocking the road like a tree or telephone pole, the roads should be "somewhat" safe.
We had a fire here last summer about four miles from my house, it ended up being a thousand acres. Thankfully the the terrain was very flat - just huge grass fields. But the moment we got the news we stopped everything and prepared to leave. I loaded everything up in the car except for the big PC and we were ready to go...

In the Paradise fire there was one street where it was a dead end, and when people tried to flee it was too late and they got caught in the fire in their cars. Eight people died.
