Looks like a dry, hot summer.

Keep the fire IN the pit!

A damp winter has suppressed large fires this year, but encouraged the growth of combustible grasses, highlighting an irony of wildfire season that has become a punch line of sorts for firefighters.

Ok, so if we don't get rain it is global warming and we will have fires, if we get rain then we have more grass so we will get fires. Either way the idiots are trying to work up fear. That is the dems most vital resource, FEAR.

We always have fires in CA, it is a given, each year the rain stops about april or may, sometimes as late as june but usually about the first of May and it doesn't rain, in any significant amount, in the low country again until about Oct.

It is hard or most people to grasp but we don't have green in the summer, we have a brown grass haven, unless you water a lawn but the wild grasses are already dying and will not be green again until, as I said, about Oct, maybe Nov. We depend on the snow in the Sierras to get us through the summer, and is always does but it will not stop the fires.

Maybe if you cleared some of that brush away from your houses...

Nah. Forget I mentioned it.
