Idiots. *sigh* Well, from what I understand, the FF are getting the full name, DOB, and contact info for the person's dentist from each person who refuses to leave. If there's kids there, the FF are taking the children out of harm's way. That's standard procedure right now, anyhow...

If those guys don't leave now, they may find that being on the middle of the lake could be just as fatal as being in the fire. Can you imagine a hot fire against a lake? That's steam cookin'...

In the Devil's Hole fire a few years back just to the east of Lake Arrowhead, people saved themselve by jumping in Deep Creek. The fire was started in early July by a kid with a sparkler

Actually I saw a something awhile back that showed something to the effect that you can easily be killed if you are in a boat on a lake when a fire goes through. I believe that the fire will "Steal" all of the oxogen and sufficate you. When you see it comming the best thing to do is flip the boat and get underneath.
