If you can believe it, the catastrophic Palisades fire that ignited on January 7 and destroyed huge swaths of the beautiful Pacific Palisades area, leaving 11 dead, is still burning. It has burned over 23,400 acres, and according to the excellent app Watch Duty, it’s 70 percent contained

Are we out of the woods yet? Unfortunately, no, as yet another huge fire started Wednesday and is currently raging around Castaic Lake to the Northwest of downtown Los Angeles. It grew extraordinarily quickly, and it is now at 9,457 acres with only five percent containment. The crucial Interstate 5 had to be closed in both directions for a period, but it's currently open again.
More homeless camping or arsonist
And yet another one just started in the Sherman Oaks area. And when the rains come....forget about it. It’s all over but the hymn singing. Insurance will cost $50,000 a year if anyone can even get it. Wow......California and Democrats.....having the worse year ever.
California needs to start background checks and waiting periods for the purchase of matches and lighters.

Anti American mooselimbs starting these fires?
Interesting, the old truism in media is “if it bleeds, it leads”, yet instead of continual video coverage by onsite reporters, we are seeing an almost blackout of reporting coverage by the MSM.
Why is that?
I hate rhetorical headlines. Redstate. Eh.
The answer is obvious: When it runs out of fuel or weather permits containment of an extreme fire hazard until conditions permit a return to prescribed burning to eliminate the hazard.
It will be interesting to see how bureaucracies - city, county, state, feds - respond to hard, prima facie evidence that leaving fuels unburned in high-risk areas is a form of intentional neglect directly culpable to felonies under criminal property damage & murder (negligent homicide at a minimum).
These fires undermines the narrative that extinguishing all fires is a good thing and destroys the basis for national & state policies of wildfire containment, coupled with negligent policies which do not include stewardship of the land with prescribed burns.
How full is the lake?
BTW, nice vid:

I believe that’s actually from Croatia. Also note the pilot waving at the kids. :-)
I’m hearing rain is forecasted for next week.🙏🏻
Where’s their Hell’s Kitchen now? Bass is toast in the hot seat while Newsom is also cooked. One recent restaurant review said that “The food is bad and they don’t give you enough of it”.
Or TERRORISTS!!
These people voted collectively to make censured Rep. Shitt to a senator and he is already acting like a liar in the confirmation hearings. Could care less if LA burned to the ground.
Homeless have been starting fires there for decades. I don’t know why LA homeless people are firebugs
Hardly .5” preceded by a couple days of 45-60 knot Santa Anas.
Metaphorically, I hope this fire burns all the way to the top (newscum).
Save the Delta Smelt?
Horrible. Thanks to all posters; citizen journalists. Condolences to all families and friends of those who have perished.
“The food is bad and they don’t give you enough of it”.
Brilliant. I will be using this for a long time. Thank you brother.
Yes
Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth
Many controlled burns and whatever it takes to control them are the answer.
This is in the Sherman Oaks area
