You are welcome. Majority here are not closed-minded haters—I just cannot imagine what people in wine country are enduring!!!

Anyway, we are POSTING ON A FORUM WHOSE FOUNDER, OWNER, THEIR FAMILY, AND THE SERVERS ARE LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA...You would think the haters would know better?!?!

But since we live in a democratic republic, people are allowed to express their opinions—no matter how bitter and small minded they may appear ;(

Again, thank you for posting...It is important that we people who are not there are helped to understand what is going on there.

Thoughts and prayers for California wine country!

Thank you. I always worry when he’s fighting fires, but this is worse to me than a regular wildland fire. Thankfully the weather has not been so bad and hopefully the rain will knock fires down enough so that his engine will be demobed.

Firefighting is dangerous also because they breathe a lot of smoke and that catches up with their lungs and hearts after years. Structure fires are worse because of all the chemicals and toxic materials burning.

Thanks! It also might be worth saying that the vast majority of ultra left in CA were not born here. They are from other states or South America. CA is like fly paper to liberals running away from conservative states.

I wish Trump would come out and at least tweet support. FEMA resources are there, but he needs to do something personal.

Did you happen to see This Editorial from the SF Chronicle yesterday, I think?

Note the bitter tone of the piece, and have a look at the ugly, vicious, poisonous anti-Trump comments below.

Secede already, is what I say.

Maryland is mocked regularly on FR.

I guess we’ll have to wait for the after action reports. Of course the fire danger for the foreseeable future is very low.

I do apologize for snarking. These are very sad times in these natural violence stricken areas.

No problem. We are just a bit on edge in the fire zone. We need a good earthquake to calm us down.
