Liberalism is how the World ends?

When I lived in northern California, my next door neighbor was a fire chief that ran the prison crews that fought the fires each year. He told me the main reason for the fires is bad management. Too much fuel for them to burn.

So you're saying they said is was being managed properly? Because when I lived in Shasta County, I had several friends that said otherwise.

Rochard, kudos to you for helping the needy. I hope the fire doesn't come anywhere near you. If it does, stay safe and have a plan to GTFO quickly with irreplaceables packed & ready. Even then, its no guarantee you won't lose the stuff anyway if you have to abandon the vehicle and make a run for it.

I just watched a video of someone filming from the time he gets the evacuation order to finally reaching safety. Riveting stuff. So much confusion, not knowing which way is the safe way to go, traffic jams slowing the escape to a literal crawl, while flames are all around. Insane! And no doubt this exact scenario has been played out hundreds of times by countless people.

You never said any of this any other year. Now Trump said some shit, and you magically have a fire chief friend that agrees with trump and a friend that got killed by an illegal alien.

Mr convenience.

I feel sorry for California citizens. To cheer you up - I live in Warsaw, capital of Poland. Poland is called "the China of Europe" for it's air quality. We deal with 100+ on a daily during winter season.

Good time to remember that a little prep goes a long way:thumbsup

- make sure your insurance needs are covered and that what needs to be covered is.
- everyone in the house needs a grab bag, that has essentials in it at all times. Couple of changes of cloths, medications, handful of things that are irreplaceable, jewelry. water/food for the next 48 hours.
- make sure your doc's, pictures, videos and such that can be scanned and uploaded to the cloud are in a safe place so you don't have to worry about them.
- a quick 60 min video of all your stuff with serial numbers and purchase dates will help with when the shit hits the fan, and your dealing with the insurance company later!!

No one likes loss, but a few things done up front can make the journey back a lot less painful :2 cents:

Best post yet. Do you have friends or relatives outside the fire zone, can you rent a storage unit outside the fire zone? Make sure that everything mentioned and more is stored in a friends house or a storage unit. So when the shit hits the fan you're not looking round for stuff to throw into your car.

It's sad you have to bring politics into every topic.

Had to search hard for that right leaning article that's created to back up Trump, with Trump's name in the title of article.

It's sad that the right tailors it's lies to back up a bitter hate troll president.

I'll stick with articles from scientific sources:

California's forest management isn't the problem | Popular Science

"A long-term trend of warmer summers and drier falls has helped desiccate California's vegetation to the perfect kindling, said Daniel Swain, assistant researcher at the University of California-Los Angeles' Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, in a Twitter thread rebuttal.

The U.S. Forest Service estimated in 2015 that climate change has led to fire seasons that are on average 78 days longer than they were almost 40 years ago."

I was out there last summer running from south to north all the way up to almost Canada.

It's crazy how much dry grass fields there are for miles and miles.. Seems like a tinderbox ready to go..

California does not reach Canada by almost 1,000 miles.

When I was living in Northern California, I would go camping in the mountains. After a logging company would go through and log out the timber, all the unusable timber was left behind. (Branches, leaves, ect). When you have acres of that laying on the ground, along with dry conditions and tall trees, it's a disaster in the making.

And two states.

When I visited California I was surprised how many people choose to live so close or even in wooded areas. A lot of the images we see show houses right next to places very prone to these fires.

Fridge full of food will save Rochard.
