Very good! Looks like they took the time to mitigate a lot of very serious risks before bulling the trigger on that one. I'm pleased and impressed.

They got the Mendo in hand https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6073/
Any guesses where the next big fires will be?
The Sierras north of Tahoe, between Highways 49 and 70 need burnt.
There is an arsonist running around Humboldt, set a few yesterday and last night.

Just heard on the news that the state of CA has already spent something like $415 million this year fighting fires. That's crazy!

 

[TBS]

Last fiscal year was 773 million. The soberanes fire a few years back was 218 million shared cost between state and feds. 415 million so far this fiscal year(since july 1st). Hope socal stays quiet this fall and winter during the santa anas.

The western side of the Sierra national forest and eastern Fresno/kings unit haven't had a big fire since the 96(?) Italian bar fire and before that the 89 powerhouse fire.

A slightly different view of Burning Man..

The Courtney fire was a small fire that took a lot of homes. All because someone wanted to burn a rotted deer carcass.
