There is nothing new about this. What is disgusting is that you don't get the fire protection for which you pay. CDF has told me to my face that they will not defend my house BECAUSE I HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB of fuels control. They'll go defend the people who have done nothing to prepare and whose houses will go up no matter what they do. They say this place won't burn and on much of it they're right. But I do know they are lying about the slope across from the house. Despite my efforts, this place is not invulnerable. Hopefully, by this time next year, it will be.
I have been told by people within the County that there is a list of people they want to destroy, to take their homes and bulldoze them. I'm on it. There is nothing wrong with the house. It's only 20 years old. This is about politics. They want to burn us out and have us pay for the privilege.
