Sorry for your loss and hope your friends are ok.................Just a quick question..........do they use controlled burns in those areas to remove the brush or let it sit to become a powder keg..............Not trying to put blame...........we use controlled burns where I live to get rid of the scrubs......Well, the thing about that, why are we allowing housing to be built in these areas when developed areas are far less prone to such catastrophes? I am seeing this in other states as well, so called desirable areas in the middle of the wilderness because it's far away from "minorities and poverty". Yuck, we can't live with all those poor minorities, they have such bad decorum and landscaping. But at least when the fires burn, they are the ones that set them. Usually because of the rich white elitists are being insensitive and stuff. Well, you don't like wild fires? Move to down town LA. Among the poor and the rest of the human race, don't flee to wealthy ghettos in high fire-flood mud slide prone out lands.I am not feeling any pity for these people. They ran the wrong way.I am about an hour and a half away...south of Redding. If that thing gets within an hour of me..we are outta here. Scarey shit. That city has 90K people and ALL are bailing out of there. CHP tweeted "fire is out of control. LEAVE".
Even the firefighters have stopped trying to stop it and now are focusing on getting all those people out of there.
I feel for the citizens..and the animals...that are going to be suffering over this horrible fire.
You are a wretched and arrogant piece of shit. Fuck off.
The Carr Fire started on Federal land where the forest service has a 'let it burn' policy thanks to environmental regulations that have consistently outlawed forest clean up, logging and firewood gathering permits. Unfortunately, more populated rural areas near the national forests can suffer when fires jump national forest lines. In the past, before these regulations when logging was largely permitted on federal land, logging companies would take care of fires. Back then, bull dozer operators would just hop on their dozers and get to work containing the fire. Today, the dozers have to be 'certified' and operators cannot start working without permission. This CAN cause delays which could be deadly in fast spreading fires. Also, because logging companies have been largely prohibited on BLM, there are not as many dozers available to make fire lines. Cal Fire uses shovels and backfires more and more.
