"No trucks to stop this thing!!!"

Jesus Christ! This may hop over 52 and start into Cowles Mountain.

This could also be a form of terrorism by fundamentalists. I think Ramadan starts today or tomorrow.

Heard a blip on Radio show here in Orygon Lars Larson was saying that the resources water ect. that are used to fight fires are now undr fire from the enviro whackos.

So what if they pressure to change guidelines on where water sources can come from and other sources to put out fires then the fires they start can just burn burn burn?

Any other Oregonian here Lars talking about this and have more details?

Holy moley.

Cancel MNF? That'll get the country's attention.

I have heard more than one local weathercasters say that this firestorm could burn all the way to the ocean.

Prayers!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Sure hope that forecaster's wrong. Whooooo boy.

Blossom Valley brush burning....no further info. Where is that?

Chopper coverage....fire has jumped 15 to west side and south of 52. Situation is dire according to mayor and issues a state of emergency.

Maybe UCSD will be evacuated afterall.

What channel did you hear that on? Did it say it could burn through thousands of homes before it reached the ocean? Or did they say it could burn through the open spaces towards the ocean. I can hardly believe that the first would be possible!

Not post 284, 286.

We definitly have arsonists working So Cal right now. ANY city ANY where could be affected at ANY time. A firefighter captain friend of mine confirmed yesterday that they think there may be multple arsonists.

[LibertyAndJusticeForAll]

Did he say if they are being started in the same way?

[WestCoastGal]

Scripps Ranch......Kings Pine Rd 12555 with shake roof is a loss. House behind up canyon on fire...on Grainwood through Eucalyptus trees another on fire. At least 30+ homes down.

Why are they planting eucalyptus in these areas? (burns faster and hotter than any other)

Winds picking up again. Semilon (sp)Rd and Birchbluff mostly all on fire, gas pipes exposed, smell of gas.

My bet is the arsonists are either Islamic extremists or environmentalist wackos like ELF. Ramadan starts tomorrow. That's a suspicious coincidence, but it could also be used as a diversion by the environmental wackos. It's time to come down hard on these ELF nuts. Lock a few of them up for 30 years and that will get their attention.
