Please Pray for our FireFighters! Cant imagine battling those wildfires and wearing that necessary Gear for it to protect them in this record high heat wave weather...
I live here and for how close the fire was to homes and the city of oroville, this coulda been much much much worse. They seem to have a handle on it today. God bless all those firefighters on a personal level, they saved a lot of houses yesterday and last night.
Sheesh…that fire was no good. I lived in Southern Oregon at the time. We didnt fair that much better during those summers. I hope PG&E did right by you. I know they can’t replace memories and belongings though.
You'd think now is the time to start cutting the wild grasses in the state for fire prevention like they did before, but no, those programs were de-funded 30+ years ago.
I'm just having a metal roof finished on my house. The cedar shingles on the walls are gone and will be replaced with stucco. My heart aches for those losing everything. I'm tired of being afraid, so I'm doing what I can to avoid going through it.
Professional hint, roll up windows and shut doors when parked near fire lines. Wind drift retardant is not the color you want in your vehicles interior. NOR. do you want embers in the interior, cab nor pickup bed. Be safe.
@@patriciawebb5579 I think I agree with Contestant No. 1. Water IS wet. But California is not f***ed. It's beautiful. Except the charred parts aren't quite as beautiful.
@@mitchellhawkes22 Yes, philosophically water is thought of as wet. However, most scientists define wetness as a liquid’s ability to maintain contact with a solid surface, meaning that water itself is not wet. Also, I love Cali. If you are there now, stay safe from the Thompson Fires (Butte County).
@@mitchellhawkes22 The main cities in California resemble 3rd world countries with wifi. To suggest California is okay is a conspiracy theory. I bet in 10 years California will be unrecognizable.
Don't need a weapon when you have fireworks, matches, cigarettes, hot autos on dry grass, mowers hitting rocks, trains, animals touching electric fences, rodents chewing into electric lines, down power lines, lightning, homeless encampments (unfortunate), campfires, etc. on a hot windy day with humidity levels below 10% and no rain in 2 months.
He will be out there sweating and suffering in this heat wave weather putting out the fires and at the same time signing off in record time bills against the 2A..
@@CoastalZugMekThat is the job description for the Governor of a state. Fighting fires. What exactly is his responsibility on the ground right now? If I was Cal Fire, I would want him as far away from this fire as humanly possible. All it would bring is unnecessary press and more people to be concerned about. There is a reason why Generals generally stay in a command post.
What are the Feds and private property owners waiting on? They own 97% of the forests in the state (57% fed (there are 20 national forests in CA) and 40% private).
I don’t get it. - This fire is in Northern California. - WTHR is an NBC affiliated station in Indianapolis, Indiana. - The reporter is holding a microphone with a CBS logo.
Maybe they are just carrying the story because the fire is so bad. The Northern California area has a CBS 13 news station out of Sacramento. The gal reporting might work for them.
The environmentalists stopped road building in roadless areas. Logging was forbidden so the fuel for fires kept increasing. Burned timber has a 2-year time limit for harvesting. Imagine all the carbon dioxide generated by this fire both by fire and then by decay.
Opening up canopies in forests accelerates their drying out, which makes forest fires more intense. Deforestation causes desertification, which is a root cause of the fires getting worse.
@@doofwop Do the Feds and private property owners have to do what environmentalists say? That's the question since the feds own 57% of forested lands in CA and private owners own 40%.
The trees act as wind and ember blocks. The last thing you want is wind tunnels and dry heat spots. Remove the dead brush, wood piles and any junk from around the house, so fire fighters can get close. Its floors me how many people cut green bushes and trees but then leave the debris to dry out in the sun or mulch it and just spread it on top. Stop doing this. Encourage green healthy trees that provide shade and wind blocks. Water your yard and keep it moist.. Invest in a good propane tank that can withstand higher temperatures and be sure to turn off gas lines when a fire breaks out too. Things like metal roofs, TeeVek decking and non-flammable materials, can help keep embers from catching.
It is truly amazing how Structures explode into a metal melting fires while the dry forest surrounding them remains intact .. I don't think most people have the ability to think and reason anymore or the states logic defying narratives would never be embraced as valid or true. wakey wakey to the fact that Your New$ is $CRYPTED and you it's targeted individuals. Question what You're being told or stay $tupidized by media manipulation of your faculties.
Got nothing to do with R’s or D’s, most of this is due to EVERY administration cutting funding for forestation work, cutting of and clearing has been reduced so badly and this is just the aftermath. Please stop trying to blame a single person or group when this is blatantly being done across the board in all states- $$$ is the #1 culprit and greed to line pockets of people in offices and NO interest in public safety.
Being in California I'm surprised that rainbow colored retardant isn't mandatory. But seriously, very bad situation for the residents affected. This is shaping up to be a very harsh year for fires in many western communities.
Northern California. A little under 70 miles away from Sacramento. If Biden was to fly in for this fire, he would land at the same place trump did for the Paradise Fire…McClellan Park in Sacramento or Beale AFB just right outside Marysville, CA.
