A raging California wildfire has grown to 200 square miles, threatening the San Francisco power grid, spreading into Yosemite National Park, and prompting Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency.

“The wildfires that started in Tuolumne County have caused damage to electrical infrastructure serving the City and County of San Francisco, and now threaten damage to property, equipment, and resources of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department,” Gov. Jerry Brown said in issuing an emergency proclamation for the city on Friday.

How can they coordinate the next demonstration against evil power companies if they can’t keep their cell phones charged?

Yeah and two other fires in kali are exporting their dang smoke to Reno/Tahoe. Supposedly the air qual in Reno yesterday was worse than Bejing. It sure looked like it. Couldn’t even see the mountains at times it was so dense. Keep you damn smoke on your side of the state line dang it.

Just think about all those sacred and protected trees, wouldn’t want to log, no, all up in smoke, year after stinking year.

If we don’t start managing our forests again, we’ll eventually lose them all!

Right. Somehow adults need to take over our forests and start managing them again. We have a dishonest media that will keep pushing global warming as the cause..

Heaven forbid anyone should go and thin them out and remove the extra fuel load that’s built up over the years. Might as well shut down the access roads too. Oh, wait they’re already doing that. Enviros=didiots.

I wonder how close this is to the Yosemite Valley — they need to all they can to stop it before it gets there.

I wouldn’t mind so much if they’d add some nicotine and tar so I could cut back on the cigs. LOL! Still LOTS of smoke in the Truckee meadows basin again.

All of the forests here need a good burning out, preferably a controlled burning out.
Can't log em, can't brush em out, Goddamn environazis!
2008 was a hell of a year here in Trinity County, probably had the worst air quality in the world between the smoke and the ash, lost 100’s of thousands of acres to wild fires.
Can't log out the dead wood, bad for the environment you know, runoff from logging roads, to many people with access, and all that dead but harvest-able wood is just so natural and ORGANIC in it's place. GODDAMN ENVIRONAZIS.
Stupid Forest Service has it's head up it's ass big time and is controlled by the environazis. Can't have the plebes going into the forest and removing any dead wood and cleaning the burned areas up, bad for MUTHA EARTH you know.
You will notice that Gov. Moonbeam (faggot,environazi) Brown only declared an emergency when the fires threatened the San Francisco (the pervert capitol of the world) power grid.
Hope the fires destroy every power line between the Sierras and the coast, the fags want the earth to be the way it was ten thousand years ago, let them live with it.
