California wild fires

[blackhawknj]

Any evidence that illegal MJ cultivation is playing a role ?

Forest Service is Dept. of Ag; Bureau of Land Mgmt is Interior. FS is supposed to be more or less self funding because it has assets to manage through timber sales. 'Sue and settle' has really had a negative impact and allowed the enviros to fill their war chests via the 'Equal Access to Justice Act'.

If I’m not mistaken, USFS is part of the Department of the Interiot, Togor.

That makes sense.

I am pretty sure the Feds have nothing to do with the lands that have been burning and that is all belongs to the state or it's private property . But it is the lack of a controlled burn that has caused this to happen. And I hate to say it but the Lump is right in his tweets. And now when the rains do come then the mud slides will be happening so stay tuned.

I'm planning on a prescribed burn in December.

[Bill D]

I stand corrected. USFS IS a part of the Department of Agriculture. Sorry, Togor!

[Sako]

I will do a controlled burn on 1800 acres of native grass in march-april weather permitting. Its really deep grass but we get to pick the weather conditions before we light it.

I'll stay out of the way.

I lost my tent(GPsmall) and almost my jeep in a relatively small compared to this one in northern Mendocino county. The fire was started by Mexican marijuana growers, probably accidental. Cal Fire hot wired my jeep and moved it to safety.

[Major Tom]

A tragic, horrendus fire indeed!
Out of curiosity, is Paradice, CA the same town that is in an old movie starring Bob Hope?

[Allen]

Strange how a fire this big can destroy entire neighborhoods yet not touch houses across the street.

Prayers go put to these people, pets and wildlife.

A friend of mine had fire come to 1/4 mile from his home. He said the fuel is dead and dried brush and timber that hasn't been cleared in years.
