Why is there always only 1 road in/out? Why not create another narrow road for emergency exit out?

Rugged steep mountains. Road in a narrow canyon.

Technically could be done. Two prominent reasons it isn't, in order:

1. Environ-mentalist's would stop it,
2. Money.

Hard to watch Lookner anymore. His “agenda-free tv” has revealed Steve’s true leftist AGENDA.

A Fire Blanket would do you any good if the air you are breathing under that blanket will boil off the water in your lung tissue.

“Obviously some fricken idiot started the fire somehow.”

I guess Gavin really means it when he says stay home. /s

There are three unbelievable fires moving very fast- #Creek Fire #Valley Fire #El Dorado Fire.

#ValleyFire (S/E of #Alpine, San Diego Co) - Extreme fire behavior w/ fire moving to the N/W again, spotting a 1/2 mile out in front. May be looking at evacuations for Dehesa in the future per radio traffic, if the fire keeps moving that way.

The Devil is merely giving the bloody Californians a preview of what the fires of hell are like. Sorry folks, you asked for it, you get it!

Taking delight in the danger other Freepers face is prideful. One day you too will face the Judge, try and explain why you took pleasure in others suffering instead of praying for them. Good luck with that.

The important thing is were they wearing their masks and maintaining social distancing rules while camping outdoors?

After all, everything else in our society nowadays is moot if we aren't more afraid of the virus than we are from the fire itself.
