Here's an old song I like;)
She was calling wild fire
wiiiil iiild fiiire
Maybe the Forest Service/BLM shouldn’t legally attack private property owners for working on their own fire minimization/suppression efforts.
Stupid enviro-wacko policies are causing the fires.
Just print the money!! take away this debt ceiling and lets just have a big fling into feel good land!! Let the children die of food riots when it inevitably collapses . It wont take much more and the politicians that did it will all be hiding in the Indian ocean .
Very smoky here, still in “unhealthy” zone, not quite as bad as yesterday’s “Hazardous.” Amazing what a difference it makes. With rain and possible lighting on the way, we could see more fires start.
A trillion here,a trillion there,it’s not real money anymore.
Who cares. Its worth our children !!
What’s there to stop a thousand Moozlems from throwing a roadside flare out their car windows on the roadside freeways. Sept. 11 is 3 days away.
over half these fires are arson that we lie about.
I am here in Yakima and have been breathing smoke for over two weeks.
In addition, the Jolly Mountain fire took a week before it really exploded. The Forest Service and BLM had time to bring in resources before the real damage was done.
The experts keep complaining about not having enough money. But, the cost has exploded along with the fire. It would have been better to bring in the choppers and scoop planes while the fire was still controllable.
Now there is the additional cost of burned up timber, wildlife habitat and a lot of the land is in scenic areas that are no longer scenic.
The liberals have to stop throwing up barriers to good fire practices. The forests should be thinned (yes, logging) and ranchers should have grazing rights to clear out the flammable underbrush. Those are common sense practices that worked. It didn’t stop all forest fires but it limited them
Yup.
Idiot states that don’t maintain adequate fire breaks can eat the cost themselves.
I don’t understand why the states themselves don’t have a rainy day disaster fund and the power to help their own citizens, in addition to educating their residents about the need to be prepared. Why does the Federal Government need to be involved?
Well, if I were to make a wild assed guess I would think it likely that some large areas which don’t have adequate fire preparation used to have proper preparedness before the bureau of land management declared that it must cease.
Call me a cynic.
But Texas defied the fedgov in the form of the EPA and other states should do the same.
That is so true!!!!!
I seem to remember O ignoring and denying help to Red States when they needed it.
Someone posted on another thread about a certain group causing the fires. Jihad?
