These folks, the firefighters, police, etc can use all the help they can get. The least we can do is pray!

It's the yearly "feel sorry for Californians" spectacle. They have either an earthquake or flood or fire or landslide at least once a year it seems.

Pretty please, with sugar on top?

What's the wind direction now? I'm in the Ocean Beach area and the pall of smoke is diminishing and I'm starting to see the sun.

How about the feds
linking any -- that was ANY -- disaster relief funds to the mandate that forests be thinned to diminish the gravity (heat, fast-burning and far-reaching aspects) of any fires in that individual state?
Or am I just dreaming??

The question is this who started the forest fires in California? Could it have been from lighting strikes
no! or far-out environmentalist
.maybe so. Or is it handy work of the terrorist? Read this report and make up your mind:
FBI: al-Qaeda detainee spoke of fire plot
PHOENIX (AP) The FBI alerted law enforcement agencies last month that an al-Qaeda terrorist now in detention had talked of masterminding a plot to set a series of devastating forest fires around the western United States.
Rose Davis, a spokeswoman for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, told The Associated Press that officials there took note of the warning but didn't see a need to act further on it.
The contents of the June 25 memo from the FBI's Denver office were reported Friday by The Arizona Republic. Davis declined to share a copy of the memo and an FBI spokeswoman in Denver didn't immediately return a telephone call.
The Republic reported that the detainee, who was not identified, said the plan involved three or four people setting wildfires using timed devices in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming that would detonate in forests and grasslands after the operatives had left the country.
The memo noted that investigators couldn't determine whether the detainee was telling the truth.
The newspaper said many forest law enforcement officers it contacted had no idea the warning had been issued.
If this is the handy work of the terrorist they should brought up on charges of first degree murder if they are caught....

To all with whom I had discussions while I was out of town, thanks for your info and your concern. The fire stayed north of my home in Upland, which was never in danger. A house I once owned years ago in the Palmer Canyon area of Claremont, however, was destroyed. The "environmentalist" bastards who have prevented reasonable forest management are going to pay for this tragedy.
