fire on the mountain

[pucho812]

Man that's crazy!

Too bad there isn't some kind of massive sprinkler system ..... You guys could use a massive rain storm right now.......

What kind of warning systems are in place for when these things start up??? Is it like a satellite system???? Too bad they spread like they do...

Hoping this will end soon...

Stay safe!!!

Well there is no real warning system and all the rains last year caused this as we had massive growth of plants and vegetation but no rain to sustain it this year so it all dried up.
The one that was upper close to me was started by homeless.The news reports was they were cooking.  It makes sense as once it started they would have fled.
Crazy times. Yes we need rain but with all the growth burned off, it would create mudslides and possible cause different but equally serious issues.

As for the Thomas fire now the 3rd largest in CA history, many have lost their homes including drummer simon phillips who was out away playing with protocol when his house and studio went up.  It's  easy in ventura county and spread all the way to santa barbara county.  We got a few others around but again news radar  does not register them any more.
