The smoke was so bad here (N. Sacramento Valley) Saturday, my fire alarm went off in my house, it doesn’t have an accessible battery so I had to put it in my refrigerator to stop it from going off. I was literally looking at maps trying to determine where to scram off to if it should get worse. The air quality was at 178.

In a related matter, I got my recall ballot week before last and filled it out ‘Yes’ to recall of Newson.. and selected Larry Elder to replace.

I’m thinking of moving to Kentucky.

At least California was able to keep the forests filled with dead trees to help the houses burn. Removing those trees would have made the forests look so artificial and might have saved the city.

We don’t want any of that happening.

Yahoo's Orwellian double-think. "Safe and engaging" environment for users, therefor no user comments allowed.

Gee....Maybe clean up some of these woodlands??

Revive the CCC Camps.

Why haven't Californians just tried talking to the fires? Validate them, ask them what they want? This is now the 21st century, it's time to progress into the future. No more of this outdated "Fight! Fight! Fight!" stuff, when it comes to fires. Fires are people too - and, incidentally, should also be allowed to vote.

Do I really need a sarcasm tag here?

[EEGator]

How about yearly clearing of underbrush, removal of some trees, creating firebreaks, and having some controlled burns?...

[McGavin999]

After last years fires you would think they would have put a huge effort into clearing dead trees and thinning the forests at least around places where people live. Instead Newsom spgave money to illegals. Remember that when you vote for his recall.

Scientists say there is also a correlation between global warming and the increased wind conditions that have fanned fierce wildfires across the state.

Yeah, “global warming“, that’s it. Didn’t they get the memo? “Global warming” is so 2008. It’s “climate change” now, and it’s still a bunch of b.s.

We were stationed at NAS Fallon Nevada. We would go up to Fallen Leaf Lake a lot for a long weekend. It was beautiful. This is so sad. Wonder if this was started on purpose?

[Lurker]

My in laws have been displaced for over a week with no idea of when they can return home or what they will find when they get there.

Recent fires are being blamed on “Climate Change”, when the real truth is that 77 years of Smokey the Bear have left forests with a huge fuel load that gets worse every year.

[Bon of Babble]

Great. And I’m on my way to visit family in Northern California and wondering if the smoke is everywhere up there.

Trump was not wrong when he said these massive fires in California are due to poor forest management- pointing the finger directly at that idiot Newsom.

Also voted “yes” on the recall and Larry Elder for governor - but with rampant voter fraud (300 ballots were just found in the back of a car, media silence) - I expect the “no” will win...and Newsom will come out swinging.

And they removed the 747 supertanker from service last year. But hundreds of billions for the Taliban.

[DUMBGRUNT]

They can't just let THE PONDEROSA burn!

[crz]

Funny thing this...here in AZ they are cutting timber to beat hell and this year might be the wettest on record.

To save the woods, you need to manage it.

This years fire season was mostly brush and shrub burns and in hard to get to places. Sycamore Canyon..

[Chode]

pointed to a desperate need for better mitigation

[minnesota_bound]

This never happened when the Cartwright’s were around!
