The smoke has not been too bad at home (Kilmore) so far so I have mine (and more particularly a borrowed scope) simply capped normally and in the garage where I normally store the gear, but if it got bad I would firstly be sending the borrowed scope home and putting the others in whatever cases were available.
In know from when our place was burned six or so years ago that the smoke can destroy optics, the cap fell off my finder scope and its objective was irretrievably smoke hazed. But we are talking about “fire outside the door” territory here rather than just nearby. Literally about ten meters away.
