I'm saying this flatout. Every year it's the samething. You people insist on building where fires are likely to happen. Why??? Why for the love of god don't you allow loggers to  thinout your forest, remove the dead trees and under brush? You tree huggers and your views and the CA laws that prevent people from cleaning brush around their yard are the cause of it.

You don't want loggers, you don't want to ruin your views so better an entire hillshide go up in flames? I dont understand this for the life of me and never will.

Clean up your yards, fire proof your dam houses and thinout your forest and you'll save the wild life and your homes at the same time but no, will never happen will it?

Every year it's the samething and this topic does not belong here. Im saying it because it's never said in these threads.

oh yea, how bout mentioning all the dead animals and wild life all up in smoke eh? This is why my my heart does not bleed for the rich in CA. You build on top of each other, make even harder for the fire men to get to you on a damn hillside as it is. No sympathy from me.
