What to know as Park Fire becomes one of California's largest wildfire on record 

Absolutely. Those children taking this chance to try and inject their vitriol, "Proper management would have prevented this, stupid [whichever party]" need to grow up and go elsewhere.

Every fire needs a point of ignition. Nearly all are man made.

Majority of Cal Fire are unpaid prison labor. Kamala Harris was a big component of keeping low level marijuana offenders in prison to supply Cal Fire and several manufacturers. She consistently blocked appeals to appease the paid lobbyists injecting money into the political races.

The Watch app should show that.

Literally?

That's how they stretch the news literally

😂

The meaning/usage of the word "literally" has literally changed in the last couple of years. Maybe a new word is needed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to catch this

ya that was dumb!

They have reached a new low. 😂 😭

"Virtually," means literally standing in front of a picture of it.

Oh, ok. 🐑

He's going to get taken advantage of, by the inmates because he's new inmate! 😂😂

Largest burning this year.

Fire is part of the ecosystem. Prayers fir those who get caught up in it.

Exactly

What happened? He set his mom's car on fire and pushed it down the canyon?

What the hell are you talking about? We have had plenty of water the last couple 3-4 years. Our reservoirs have been full. Oroville and Shasta were at capacity. This is a forest management issue. I was up at Union valley reservoir this past weekend and the state is finally clearing the forests of fuel. This should have been going on for decades but it wasn’t happening.

Drought..California has always been in a drought following the great Columbia basin ice age. Underground water has been used so much by farmers and cities that the entire states Valley from Klamath falls to Mexico has sunk over 30 feet. There is no return.

@@lilbrother45 yeah, the forests are not the original diverse ones, the ones burning are Douglas Fir replants intended for future logging investments. That's why they have those "tree farm" signs everywhere. The original forests were much more diverse, more watersheds, more moisture, now they're all just Doug Fir and no daily moisture, and a LOT of people living in them now. It's not a good recipe unfortunately. And the natives didn't live in many of the places now inhabited. They used to burn the underbrush every year in the places they were going to live in. They burned for many reasons, hunting, they had a higher canopy, other tribes couldn't burn them out etc. And the original diverse forests were more sparse, they actually evolved with fire, as bizarre as that sounds. I read books back in the late 80's , 90's about the stewardship the natives practiced, and when the settlers came they outlawed the more nomadic tribes from burning. The fuel built up and there were firestorms. It's definitely all a problem that will take really thinking outside the box to get back to stasis. The European's came expecting to settle like they knew in Europe and the east Coast, but it doesn't work out west. Glad the reservoirs are filling back up , but you don't get the steady gentle rain and moisture out there. If used to rain more back in the 80's and 90's , there wasn't fires like now. And there were times in the late 1800's, early 1900's when there was big fires. There was always fire, that evolved with the trees. It's the settling down part that is actually at odds with the area. And can be done about that at this point ? Escape and live with it. That's what's evolving now. Even in the jargon, calfire, firebreaks, throwing people in jail cause they "caused" (except PGE, they don't go to jail, they just pay out ). It's the new culture there. I watched it change and evolve from the 70's - till now. I can kind of tell the way it's going just from observation.

@@michaelpilot1000 Yeah, I watched it change from the 70's till now. It's a whole new culture. And before the settlers in the 1800's the natives that originally lived there were more nomadic, and practiced burning the underbrush and stewardship. The original forest were much more diverse, and actually more sprase and had natural firebreaks. Evolved with fire. Now it's packed Douglas Fir replants. Less watersheds and morning dew than there used to be . And the earth itself is in a warming trend, wether man made or naturally occuring doesn't much matter. It's still warming. And there's a lot of people settled in wishing they could stay that way? But?

Especially when replaced by a monoculture for logging harvest, instead of allowing it to grow back wild.

Most of those people have been set free. The prison space was needed to ,,,,,, well we just let them go so they could offend again.

Y’all are gonna talk trash about fire fighters from prison!!! What is wrong with you people they have served us so much and you wanna complain! What’s wrong with you self righteous people!

They don't want the work because they are paying them less than minimum wage. Maybe I'm wrong but I saw a news report a few fire seasons back where the prison crew was being employed and one was interviewed who said that they were left without water and their wages was minimum

I am a retired California firefighter 32 years of service. I appreciate every inmate hand crew, they are the hardest workers and they do a lot of good on fires. Many get wildland fire fighting jobs when they get out. Not only to they fight fires but they man the kitchens and feed everyone that is working on the fire.

And my understanding is that former inmate firefighters are not eligible to join California fire crews at all. So it's not like they get a career out of it.

yeah...go to Ukraine and Israel...

@@Slimedog1963 more concerned about my country

Quite often they are shown squirting water at a home which is already totally destroyed. That's not nothing.

Feel free to become a firefighter yourself

I'm also confused why they don't spray the water on the fire instead of up into the air. Just asking; I do not know anything about fires so no hating necessary. 🙏🏽

Google, "How to fight a wild fire."

@@jillsy2815 because up in the air means it rains everywhere and slows the spread of the fire and heat whereas shooting a beam in one spot isnt as efficient. Its all about containment and slowing in as vast an area as possible. They dont just spray up into the air tho theres many tactics depending on the situation
