said there’s a simple recipe that applies to California blazes: vegetation, ignition and conducive weather, which typically is hot and dry winds. “If you got all three, then you got a wildfire,” he said.

And, yet, very little problems in Orange and San Diego counties…

The Trump EPA needs to fine California and Los Angeles for the countless tons of carbon dioxide being emitted by these fires.

President Trump predicted this exact scenario during Joe Rogan’s podcast and he laid out the exact reasons why.

But hey, the smelt fish are safe so thank God for that. /s/

It's like a real life imitating art movie with our own James Woods in a starring role.

Great video—this is what the Democrats will do to all of us—if we give them the chance.

They are evil destroyers.

“Mike Flannigan, a professor at Thompson Rivers University in Canada’s British Columbia who studies wildfires, said there’s a simple recipe that applies to California blazes: vegetation, ignition and conducive weather, which typically is hot and dry winds.””“If you got all three, then you got a wildfire,” he said.”

Grew up in Southern California and I am familiar with the area.

Whenever we have been in the area (a niece went to college at Pepperdine), the kinds of vegegation that people in the Palisades planted around their homes always amazed us - not drought tolerant; easily turned to fire fuel during dry periods.

That was on TCM the other night and I watched it for the first time. William Holden looked young and I was surprised Cecil de DeMille and LB Mayer did cameos as well as Hedda Hopper. Fine old style Hollywood mansion in the movie p- probably gone now forever.

I am sorry to think that this is intentional.

Asheville being flooded out of existence, Maui burned down to dirt and same with Los Angeles.

Does anyone else think this? I believe the powers that be are destroying America so DJT will be occupied with restoring our country instead of taking care of the evil that destroys.

Yes, it’s the ‘ignition’ part they never ask about.

I was explaining that to some friends in Carmel last night.

Eucalyptus and palm trees are maybe the best tinder in the world.

The trees native to the area survive fires quite well, like the Redwoods.
