I've told this story hundreds of times in my life...when I was a kid living in the San Fernando valley we could look up to the hills and see what looked like dirt roads carved into the hills...they were not roads they were fire breaks to assist putting out potential brush fires....
At some point the tree huggers sprung into action and they stopped bulldozing the hills...the very next year a fire started and ran all the way to the pacific ocean burning the mansions of the super rich and the Hollywood elite......
But unbelievably they didn't learn from that experience and still today the environmentalists go to court and fight any and every weed abatement proposal presented to the CA legislature.....even if they want to remove dead vegetation from under power lines....its a never ending cycle of madness.....
Not to mention the cuts to the state forest service made by Moonbeam and the ill prepared Newsome can't put the damn fires out......
I am not kidding when I say it looks like I'm living on Mars...the sky is blood orange and if you leave a window cracked at night smoke sensors go off inside your home!!!!
and the fires are 100 miles away!!!!
Just two moire weeks and I'm out of here.......
