That's my Dad at 7:40 , third Sawyer of the Scorpion 1 crew (SQF). He's been with the hand crews since 1989. Now this 2017 Fire Season he'll be turning 52, time flies.
Hey, hope you can get back in. I lulz at CalFire calling you a looter and denying access and then using one of your photos of the fire on their Twitter feed. Thanks for your work on this!
To be clear, CAL FIRE is most excellent and did not say the things you mentioned.... that was all the doings of the Oak Shores HOA President. The HOA has since about-faced, apologized and allowed me access if I wish. CAL FIRE is very supportive of my operation.
Thanks for the clarification and glad you were able to get back to work getting the message out to those affected by this devastating event and other interested parties
digging whole with bulldozers doesn't seem to mimize the fire any. since we all know the behavior of wild fires and they are capable of jumping even over ricers and ponds etc a bare strip of ground created by the dozer ain't gonna do much???
you can't stop a wildfire in CA and you can't prevent them, they have been part of the ecosystem in CA for millions of years. The only rational policy is preparation of residential homes which unfortunately hasn't sunk in with many residents as they still build their homes out of wood...derp. Nor has the government figured it out as they are content with spending more money on fire prevention and abatement instead of preparation which only creates bigger fires when they do occur.... all the while blaming it on globull warming.
