Fire

The 'City of Angels' has become the 'City of Crispy Critters' Totally preventable and totally a democrat caused issue. Has zero to do with climate change and everything to do with poor political management.

Far as Canada is concerned, if I was Canadian, I'd not be throwing stones at anyone in as much as you may become the 51st State.... I see many Canadians are in favor of just that. Understandable, you are taxed to death and have a healthcare system where you could very well expire just waiting to get to see a doctor.

Not some place I'd want to live at all.

And can you tell us what Trump has to do with this?

Nothing, of course but that isn't relevant to the commenter anyway.

You apparently don't know much about wildfires. I do not see anything politcal about 100 mph wind gusts--hell, I've seen, in person how fire is pushed by a mere 50mph wind. You no way no how can put people in front of such a fire. Airtankers cannot fly in all conditions, nor helicopters. It isn't like the TV shows and movies.

On another site, somebody made the comparison with the firestorm of Tokyo during WWII. The fire makes it's own weather, and it's Katy Bar The Door Time or for those of you who are movie fans, Monty Python's Run Away, Run Away. You cannot put out a firestorm without cooperation from The Weather. Not Republicans, not Democrats, you need the right weather. Get that through your thick head. Thay do not sacrifice lives for property in the fire fighting realm. That's the cardinal rule. Safety.

Gawd, I really wish you couch shots would travel to SoCal and show them how it's done, right? It's only a few hours away by plane. Go for it.

Gee, I've been there, even set up plans for doing control burns and set out the perimeters for the burn, like preparation, wind speed, direction, humidity needed, location, and even an environmental impact statement. When those conditions exists it is the time to do the burn. They said they would have to get this plan approved and it may take 2 or 3 years.

Yup. Welcome to the Dim reality…stupidity.
