California Fires

[ShadowmasterX]

Wow, have you heard about it?
Only 20% containment and the rest are 0% containment, the smog is so bad, I live in LA and the fire is in OC but it blocks the sun and makes it orange.

So intensely hot...

I hate fires =(

I hope the firefighting crews are able to tame those fires.
It seems like California has fires on a regular basis...

Yea,
I dont really care about natural fires, but this one was caused by a person...

5 suspects in custody =D

Thats sad. California is a dangerous place. Didn't you notice the most populated areas like Florida, New York and California and the most dangerous to live, with the exception of tornado valley because not many people live there.

Well some of this is due to the fact that many prominent environmentalists don't want to cut down brush/trees to prevent these fires to begin with (forgot the term for this, but they cut away every-other-acre to form a grid to make it easier to fight fires).

IMO they just keep shooting themselves in their own feet. If the grass is going to end up burning and causing destruction anyway, how about you cut it away and save billions of dollars in damage to property? Not to mention risking homeowners and firefighters lives

It's too bad you can't control the weather yet

There must be a lot of flameable forestry in California containing deadwood etc.
If only they could find an easy way of removing the deadwood to prevent such fires.

Wow I had heard about the fires, but I didn't know that they were started by people this time. I think that If you start a wildfire, that the punishment should be that you are lit on fire, that would teach em'.

I heard about the fire two days ago. I only got my electricity back today after we had cyclone larry in Brisbane, Australia. WE were in the center of it. Really bad.

At the bottom it says one of the schools gets closed at Ferny Grove. That my school!!! That is why I'm home!

both of them suck, the fires in cali and the "hurricane" in australia. i see on the news every night about the cali fires just north of la. it'll be a disaster if la was hit with this, instead of just the hills.
