Nope. Not even an official warning. You lie (as usual):

Actually, that's probably what I would do. I can explain why, but not
now.

Wrong. The problem with staying at home during a fire is that the
fire fighters have to drop what they're doing and switch to performing
a rescue. That happened in the CZU Fire.

Nobody gets arrested or goes to jail for failing to evacuate.

Note that the article talks about possible jail time and does not
provide specifics or examples. The problem is that those remaining
during an evacuation are almost always looters. The police are too
busy to protect property during an evacuation.
During the summer of 2022, we had a few fires that looked like they
might require a mass evacuation. The authorities a warning, which the
media immediately converted into an inevitable crisis. These days,
it's done directly by the county:

Note that there are 3 stages. Warning -> Alert -> Order
Warnings and alerts are just to tell residents to load their cars with
as much junk they can't live without, and get ready to drive away.
Also, the evacuation order and return are done in stages by zone to
prevent traffic jams on the roads. This worked very well during the
CZU fire.
I spent some jail time when I was a teenager. It was sufficient to
convince me that jail was a bad idea. However, you are correct about
the "friends". I learned quite a bit about how the world really works
and added a few skills to my portfolio. Tom, I recommend that you
spend some quality time in jail in order to obtain the education that
you somehow missed when you were younger.
Power was out at my house from Fri 2AM to about 10AM. Next storm is
scheduled to arrive Monday afternoon. No problems except my generator
seems to have gum in the carburetor and/or a sticky throttle plate.
