Fire: 'The thing went nuclear' feeding off blend of conditions! (The Fire went nuclear!)

Of course this blend of conditions is another legacy of the Clintoon and his anti human green fascists in control of Oregon with his/their no roads into forest areas and no thinning of the burnables.

The green fascists have basically shut down most logging in Oregon under the 8 years of the Toon and their enviral butt boy governor poster boy.

Thanks for the post Grampa Dave. The monsoons finally started here in New Mexico, some rain almost everyday for the past two weeks. Fire danger down from Extreme to Moderate. Looks like we made it another year. The Forest Service in the neighboring national forest isn't doing much in the way of maintenance, but the neighbors have been thinning and chipping. We may be ready when it comes.

The enviro-wackos are on the defensive now that Americans know they've brought about these horrendous fires, beginning in the late '80s. The federal agencies that they've used have been caught out attempting to give Congress incomplete reports that don't tell the whole store, but those attempts are not succeeding. The truth is coming out!

Thank goodness for the Mexican hurricans/summer monsoons.

If you go to the fire map above, you will see that there are no fires in your area.

The problem is that your area often has its major fire activities in late summer and early fall. Hopefully, the rain will defer this until next year.

Glad to hear that your area is now safe. Time to drag the eco facists that use fire as the ultimate Rural Cleanser out into the streets and tar and feather them.

WE NEED A NATIONAL FIRE-FIGHTING FORCE that's a branch of the US military!

What will it take for Americans to DEMAND this from their government????????

For discussion purposes:

The concept of a Federal firefighting force may be good, since the work crosses state lines, but the Department of Defense is not where they belong...

Maybe we should federalize the companies that fight fires now, and take away the profit motive?

It was the prospect for work and income that drove Leonard Gregg, a contract firefighter in the Apache/Sitgreaves National Forest, to start the Rodeo fire in Northern Arizona. Mr. Leonard has been indicted for the actions he has admitted taking.
