I bought a Honda

Last of the breed, since Honda stopped making ICE lawn mowers.  And California, where I live, banned sale of newly mfg'ed gas mowers starting 2024.

This machine was built in 2023, during a time when they were having problems with the compression release mechanism built into the camshaft.  Honda recalled a LOT of mowers from retailers around the country, then they started replacing cams.  This one came from Home Depot.  Got a great price.  

I also bought a Toro unit before the ban started, but this Honda is much more user-friendly to use.

Hope the fires are not causing you problems.
Maybe look for a ICE  water pump too

I bought a generator recently.  If I had a pool, a pump may come in handy too.  Sadly, or maybe not, I live in a part of So. Calif, with a flatland neighborhood.  No hills & canyons filled with brush to burn.  

Glad you're safe
