It’s (D)ifferent.
Every day in the news there is talk about ‘wildfires’... You do watch some form of news? Right? That’s the ‘reference’... They daily reporting of wildfires.
Started yesterday afternoon. There were no T-storms any ware near the area. At first all the smoke was blowing strait east same as it was in BC. Now the wind is out of the north and all that smoke from the Kalona fire is in Spokane.
As bad as I've ever seen it. Not going out side today.
“You do watch some form of news?”
Why yes I do, and I’ve seen regular mention of wildfires every year for about 50 years. THAT’S your basis for determining that there’s a conspiracy to set fires? You’re an analytical genius.
ah, yes 🤣
There were no T-storms any ware near the area.

Probably just a few hippies and antifa peaceful travelers, activist for peace and human aid, waving their newest igniters, the truth will never find its way to your TV.

‘tis the season. Intense heat wave. Decayed electrical infrastructure overburdened due to AC and EVs. Sparks fly. Fires start and spread.
Prayers for your friends and, really, all who may be affected!
Update as of 5 hours ago - I’d expect more info. to be posted this evening.

Wow. When people DECIDE to take action it’s something to see.
I just mentioned on another thread about the regular people on Maui that got tired of waiting and organized their own relief and supply effort. It’s more efficient than the feds reponse and is getting actual supplies to displaced people.
When you really need help, count on yourself and say your prayers.
What ever you do to help the cause of "climate change" is considered fair and just..
Ask Al Gore, he'll tell you..
In the case of at least one of these fires:
“SFD: Fire burning in Spokane city limits was caused by illegal camping”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls_E6uqctPk
At around 0:48 we learn the fire being discussed in this vid was caused by people living (”camping”) near some railroad tracks. They left a fire unattended.
Actually, they were very aggressive on fire after the 1910 fire. The Forest Service had a longstanding policy that any fire was to be out by 10 AM the next day. This is part of what has caused our current problem. The fuel load is insane now. Look at almost any area of the country and compare pictures from 1970 and earlier and you will see that the amount of vegetation today is ridiculous compared to 50-100 years ago.
Over the last 10 or 15 years the Forest Service has eased up, allowing some areas to burn and being less aggressive at night.
The last 2 years here in CA, they have been aggressive again, but still not fighting heavily at night.
Some of the problem in Forest Service land is there are not many roads due to Clinton’s roadless initiative. Add to that, no dozers, aircraft, or retardant in many forests, only hand crews, and these things can get away from us. Also, we cannot push a dozer line or hand line within 300 feet of any body of water, to include rivers, creeks, and streams.
AWESOME !!! God, I really miss living in Texas (50+ years) where People take care of People when needed. And watch out for those people who need help no matter how much or how little. Thank You for the Link from the current fire Thread. Y’All stay safe and take care.
