Folks this is really serious.

To imagine the terror. You have a fire rushing towards you. You break out your fire emergency shelter which is really a big aluming hot dog wrapper, you are the hot dog.

Then, you get into the wrapper and seal it up. Then you lay on the ground while you hear the fire approaching. You hope that it works and you don't become a baked potatoe or scorched hot dog.

This is the result of the enviral governor of Oregone, the enviral watermelons of Oregon and senators like Da$$hole, Chi Fi Frankenstein, Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry and other rat senators.

The enviralists who set up these tinder boxes are worse terrorists than the al Qaeda thugs!

That's exactly right. Deploy it and hug the ground while hell passes over the top. Maybe you'll live to tell about it.

Please ping this.

This is a prime example of how dangerous our USA is now thanks to our home grown Enviral Terrorists.

They have made our wild lands and forests dangerous Tinder Boxes that can burn homes, hurt people and possibly kill them.

This is serious business. Keep focusing on those responsible, the enviral elites and their poster boy and girls in governor's offices like Oregone, and as US rat senators and congressits!

"A total of 15 major fires, all started by lightning..."

LIGHTNING??? LIGHTNING???

Then why was a woman suspected of starting the Sequoia fire arrested Wednesday? (Please, no Jewish lightening jokes. I know I walked into that one)

And if there's one on here posting that stupid question again .... NO, FIRE IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAKE SEQUOIAS OPEN THERE CONES.

...Sorry....little peeved about those idiots posters who always say "But doesn't fire help the big trees all make little baby trees?"

Eleven firefighters were treated for minor burns and smoke inhalation and released from a hospital here.

No really serious injuries?
Truly amazing and the lord was watching over them!

Freepers, if this thread/article makes you mad.

Then, damn it do something about it!

Order Ebuck's stickers. Then mail a sticker to this POS governor of Oregon, Tommy Da$$hole and other rats in government. Then please ping this message to every freeper you know. Americans are in real danger from the green eco terrorism. We need your help in this issue.

Do you despise what Tommy Da$$hole and other enviral rat senators have done to America re the fire potential in our forests?

Well do something about it.

Please, order some of these stickers from EBUCK. Then, send stickers to Da$$hole and other enviral senators. This will let them know that we know who is responsible for these out of control fires, them!

Then send stickers to our good guys and gals in congress and as governors who are fighting these enviral scumbags.

Invest $10 and buy 5 stickers. Put them on your SUV/pickup/gas guzzler's bumper and let the world know why we are having fires.

These fires are not just a problem of the west. If you have forests in your state, you have the same problem thanks to Tommy Da$$hole and his enviral buddies!

The incest link between rat senators up for reelection this November and the vile enviralists can cost them their election. Please buy some of these sticker and use them.

Here is the opportunity for all good Freepers to get into the face of the enviral fascists who have put a large part of our nation into the peril of becoming a flaming tinderbox.

Ebuck has created a great bumpersticker to put the blame on these clymers as we drive our SUV's and pickups. (Link to EBuck's Sticker and how to buy them) (link to EBuck's Sticker and how to buy them)

The lord, a good fire boss who picked the right time to use their aluminum fire tents, when/where to lay down and how to stay calm when the fire came close and over them, all helped them to survive this.

However, this would never have happened if the Watermelon Enviral Eco Terrorists had not made most wild lands and forests into dangerous tinder boxes during the Clintoon Druid Agenda years.

Thanks for the post. Heard on the radio this morning that there are at least 3 fires burning near Happy Camp Ca on the Klamath river. Caused by lightning.

There is one huge and uncontrolled fire in SE Kali, that has been burning for a few days.

Tube Bender just informed me that there are 3 new fires at Happy Camp on the Middle Klamath River area in N. Kali due to lightening strikes yesterday and last night.

Here is a two day NOAA satimage of the fire in the Sequoia area. Picture taken 7 pmish on 23 July:

This is a really dramatic NOAA shot from the early evening of 23 July, Tuesday.

This picture showed that at that times these fires are still blazing and very hot and very smokey!

Of course as per this thread, we know that these fires were still dangerous last night as several fire fighters in Oregon were injured.

Here is the latest from the federal fire maps. We now have a few new ones in Kali land.

Looks like Robert Redford enviral land, the state of Redford, formerly Utah, is having a lot of Redford druid fires. He is such a treasure to the state of Utah.

"Duck and Cover, that's right, Duck and Cover". Not to make light of the situation but that South Park quote works pretty well here..
