Why don’t we soak dry vegetation prior if we knew these winds were coming? They say they had staff around the areas that were likely to go up so why not??
Si nos disputes étaient aussi drôles, nous cesserions de nous battre et commencerions à rire ensemble💋
The world acts like these fires are something new. California has been burning for decades.
when I was growing up there used to be controlled burns all over the state I havent seen that for 30 years to save money. now the fires are caused by paged e lines dropping and causing the fires. they will shut power off to people like me when the winds are high instead of pg and e paying for anything.
Save lives of fire men also , they don’t need to inhale so much smoke to save every inch of Lowe’s old stock and timberland !
Has anyone else noticed that the firefighter using the hose looks like hes pee on the fire? About a minute in.
