| believe it or not, ... ( 4 months ago by blu3cheez) |
| believe it or not, fires have been going on in california for thousands of years. When the fires don't keep going because of firefighting efforts, the forests get too dense and it threatens the oaks and other plants... not that anyone cares, but its something to think about |

| There is a related problem. The environmentalists have fought any hint of logging. People can thin the forests, just as a small, cool fire might have done. You can lower the potential energy density, which is what is driving these "blow-ups" that we've seen lately. Of course, you can't do it if it's illegal. So Mother Nature takes it all, rather than being selective. |

| I live in Midpines, CA on CA140. Across the highway are mandatory evacuations. saw4fire is ignorant of the facts here on the ground. There is little logging to do and even less given through the misnamed "healthy forests initiative of the Bush cronies; instead, it is chapperral, dense greaswood 10-20' high, some pine and oak in very steep terrain. What IS true is that most people here don't have 200' clearance. Grants to landowners through the Bush's logging program would have been helpful. |
| I would also like ... ( 4 months ago by ZSheeshZ) |
| I would also like to add that other than the drought, there was nothing natural that started this fire. This are is over-run with people, particularly on weekends. Too many humans doing too many risky things given the severity of this fire season. Official word is someone was target shooting in the Merced Canyon; rumor around town is it was a poacher after pig and deer. Saw: why no grants from Bush and Co. to clear populated "useless" lands like this that are now burning? |
