First of all, there is no such state named "Cali." It is California, or CA if you can't be bothered to type out the whole name. Second of all, stuff your smug head where the sun don't shine, for all the good it's doing. You apparently don't use it to think. A uncontained brush fire moving at top speed is a tremendously dangerous and erratic thing. If one was coming your way, and you had no firefighters between you and the blaze, I'd want to see just how much bravado you'd show then. There is no such thing as evacuting people unnecessarily in the face of an approaching inferno.
This state has a long history of such fires, and the death and destruction they cause. So who the heck are you to be telling us about evcuations from the safety of whatever rabbit hutch you're posting from, dude?
What the out-of-staters do not realize is that the Fire Department issues mandatory evacuation orders. The reason is that they do not want people running up to them asking for help when they are trying to save an entire subdivision. The fire department needs the freedom to determine which homes should be saved and which ones are not logistically worth saving. The goal is to keep the total number of homes lost low. Can you imagine someone running up to a fire engine asking for help because her better half was now trapped in their home. Hey, he only wanted to keep posting about the coming fire on the internet. The key stat is the number of homes lost verses the number of lives lost. Out here, the land and the people are important. Homes come and go.
