Evacuation order just lifted, but my sister-in-law and 2 great kids are staying with us until tomorrow.
A lot of little controlled burns is the best way to do it.
Too bad its not going to be allowed to happen that way.
My advice: if you live in the area, build underground or move. The bureaucrats and lawyers are only going to make the fires worse.
Uh-oh.
It's a risk you take with controlled burns, but the alternative is to let fuel build up until the load becomes so great that you have no chance of stopping the inevitable wildfire. The fact that no structures have been lost can partially be attibuted to fuel management.
Well... there's one other possibility, hand-clearing the fuel, but the salary costs would be prohibitive and trying to use prison labor would get the government sued.
Yep. Heard it on the news.
IDIOTS.
No doubt started by Berverly Hills pot heads.
They wouldn't be bothered with OC. We're not SoFistIcated enough for them, don'tchaknow?
Otherwise known as an uncontrolled burn.
"Hey, the Santa Anna Winds are back, let's have us a controlled burn!"
What a burn.
The Feds are immune to the laws of physics that affect the rest of us.
Wasn't it Alamogordo they torched the same way?

Snert? Me? :D~
It's only arson if you or I do it.
