Not looking too good. But at least the retardant bombers can operate soon (after daylight in an hour or so).

no shiiiite statement....quick where are my pearls
A high percentage of these “wildfires” are caused by humans, most often by deliberate arson.
It has been reported that the CARR (this one) began when a car with a flat tire stopped along the road way.
It is very dry now in Northern California and it would not take much to start a fire. Add to the high winds over the past few days and a small fire can grow large quickly.
Don’t believe this was arson
The Carr Fire was sparked Monday afternoon by what CalFire described as a mechanical failure of a vehicle on Highway 299 west of Whiskeytown Lake.

For the latest news on the fire, which claimed the life of a bulldozer driver Thursday night

The fire twitter page has lots of pictures and video as well as good updates. Local folks can’t believe the TV stations are in reruns and that CNN is still just Trump bashing as a major city burns.
Someone who prefers live firefighters to crispy “martyrs” when property is the biggest stake against their lives.
AKA Terrorscum muzzie
DHS just doesn’t want to admit it or even tell the public.
They don’t want to cause panic or have public go vigilante.
So what illegal started this one now?
Go back and check history of Dresden and Tokyo in WW-II.
Fires get so bad they are like a rolling blast furnace.
Even to the point of physically sucking people in to the fire.
If you have all this figured out the hop on over and run the show for them.
I’m done with you, not going to argue at all.
Try to have a nice day while these people are losing everything including possible family and friends.
Read just now that an arrest was made in Northern CA fire.
Please see post 49. An arrest was made. Arson.
I did see that just a few minutes ago.
Thank You
It burned boats to the waterline at the marina on Whiskeytown Lake. Dang.
Per Fox News.
Good God, what a horror show... All those poor people, losing everything.
Pilots of the Tokyo firebombing reported seeing debris the size of house doors in the air at 5000’. The turbulence was so great at altitude that is caused one bomber to break up in flight.
This may rival the Santa Rosa fires from last years. I hope and pray that the air attack is set up for daylight and they give command to a tier 1 team.
YIKES!!!
Boiling water in a paper (fiberglass) cup.
What a mess. Things can be replaced, Lives can’t.
May God be with All involved.
