AlaskaracerThat sucks. I hope his home and all stay untouched!!
On a side note, all these fires, including the ones here in Colorado are from very poor forest management. The left and environmentalists are to blame for this, like it or not. If they let the forest service and logging companies go in and remove the beetle kill, dead woods, and mitigate the hazards, you'd see not only a lot less of this, but a lot less severe when it does happen....there is a simple fix but until it's addressed this will continue. Our congresswoman from here introduced a bill to address exactly that. Keeping fingers crossed that it gets passed.

Exactly same here! They raided forestry /fire funds / City/ County and now doing the Newsome backstroke... buying votes , giving away surplus money..now saying 300 / month for two years if you qualify..,

Sure would Roger. I asked my neighbor bring his cows on our property, problem solved. Worked out well because feed (drought) is scarce here.

Blame w/o accountability is a continuing win for the libs. It's had years and years to be corrected but nothing ever changes. "Our congresswoman from here introduced a bill...", saber rattling w/o results is simply politics to keep the masses fired up, useless verbiage. Unfortunately I don't see anything but continuing loosing for the citizens.

Floyd StaggsWe have a governor who cut forest management funds, closed fire camps, closed prisons that supplied fir fire fighters, bought chinese masks instead of super tankers, yeah, Einstein is right.

They're going to have to add on a few hundred more box cars going to Newsom's safe place encampment, Ouchwitz. California truly gets what it deserves. Winning tactics as always. Flood the media with expectations of a win just prior to the election, then pull the voting machine switch, wallah!

ferndaleflyerI wondered about that. If so many wanted him out where were they on election day, fighting fires?

Floyd StaggsIt's hard to get the public to recognize wrong when the entire government administration is supporting the wrong doer.

I'd say it's been proven to be impossible.
