Quote - 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.

First off these aren't forest fires. They are brush fires. Second there are no laws against clearing brush anywhere in the San Diego county, in fact a lot of time and money is spent telling people to clear brush around their houses. In fact a lot of people do just that, which is why there haven't been nearly as many houses lost in these fires as compaired to the Cedar fire.
