Summer. It’s every year. It’s dry.
There are plenty of crazies who want to show Global Warming is making things so hot that things spontaneously ignite.
Mr. GG2 is part owner of an old family owned vacation house in Frazier Park that has sold and is awaiting closing. We are sitting here laughing at our terrible luck as the fire is moving that way. Hopefully the fire fighters will get things under control.
I feel bad for trees and critters. The people? I’ll need more time for that.
Gee, a wildfire in Southern California in the summer, how unusual. I lived in Southern California for 30 years I don’t remember any wildfires/s
Never happened before! OH WAIT...From 1834...

In the middle of this crescent, directly opposite the anchoring ground, lie the mission and town of Santa Barbara, on a low, flat plain, but little above the level of the sea,........
The town is certainly finely situated, with a bay in front, and an amphitheatre of hills behind. The only thing which diminishes its beauty is, that the hills have no large trees upon them, they having been all burnt by a great fire which swept them off about a dozen years before, and they had not yet grown up again. The fire was described to me by an inhabitant, as having been a very terrible and magnificent sight. The air of the whole valley was so heated that the people were obliged to leave the town and take up their quarters for several days upon the beach.
I am in So. Cal and WE ARE DOOMED!(/S -hopefully)
Geez Gorman is in LA county
Dang big fire tho
All the wild fires are arson.
Strange, though...
The state has had above average rain and snow fall the last two years, but I do not know about specific areas, like Los Angeles.
Maybe arson, plus very dry gusty winds?
