On Thursday, Cal Fire released video of the Colorado Fire burn scar as seen from the air.
As of Saturday morning, Cal Fire reports that the Colorado Fire, which is burning on the Big Sur coast, is 85% contained and has burned 700 acres. They expect it to be fully contained as of Feb. 2.
Wednesday afternoon all evacuation orders and road closures were lifted.
The wildfire ignited when an intentional burn of a pile of debris escaped, Cal Fire said.
Cal Fire reported that the pile burning appeared to have been on private property and whether the residents had a required burn permit was under investigation.
CA should just go ahead and lock the people out of *all* open rural areas...In fact, you better expect them to do just that in the future. The ruling corrupt can make videos of all the national parks and rural areas and the the masses can stay in the cities and enjoy the videos. Sound far fetched?
Itll grow back...and if they’d adopt prescription burn practices they could avoid a lot of these wildfires......California also.
Yeah, just move everybody to the population centers. Folks got no business living in the boonies. 😕. /S
20 years ago when beetle kill was raging through the Colorado forests and people were wailing about the wildland fires that would result a mountain man told me, “That’s just nature fixing man’s screwups.”
This fire was just a continuation of that.
It IS cali. 😊
They’ve made no secret that is their goal.
I read a sci fi book (name of which eludes me) about 50 years ago predicting just that.
See my No. 5 comment.
This fire is not in Co. Someone failed to control
an intentional burn.
I think that this is an area of California that is named Colorado, not the state of Colorado. Yes, it’s confusing.
I snowmobiled in Yellowstone the winter after the big fires there. A forest fire doesn’t burn EVERYTHING down to the bare ground. Most of the charred trees and even some partly burned underbrush remains after a fire. That looks to me like a fire break; a bulldozed gap in the forest so the fire had to STOP there. But whatever it is, it’s not an untouched burn area.
You’re correct;
Palo Colorado Canyon, California
