13. Pay no attention to CA. politicians as they try to explain the wildfires here in the West…as in so many other categories, they are spectacularly less than reliable.

    Here’s a retired Fire Chief’s explanation…

    Welcome to the (Unnecessary) Mega Fire Generation!
    By Del Albright, Fire Chief (retired)

    25-30 years ago, a 10,000 – 15,000-acre fire was a huge conflagration. Now we are experiencing 100,000 – 400,000-acre fires regularly.

    I would like to offer an explanation based on over 30 years of government service including 26 years with the fire service, as well as beginning my fire career with a Master’s Degree in Prescribed Burning.

    NO! It is not just global warming (climate change).
    NO! It is not understaffed or ill-trained firefighters.
    NO! It is not Mamma Nature getting even with our urban sprawl.
    NO! It is not careless campers or hunters.
    NO! It is not kids with matches.

    YES! It is a combination of many things but more importantly, it is the LACK of forest/brushland/grassland management caused by wacko, radical enviro groups imposing excessive regulations, and restrictions on our ability to keep the west safe from wildfire.

    Here are the key takeaways from this article:

    · The lack of controlled burning/prescribed fire is directly responsible for the huge build-ups of flammable fuels.
    · The end of maintaining fire breaks (roads) in forested areas leaves firefighters with inadequate access.
    · The end of logging and good timber management as we used to know it is directly responsible for forests that are now tinderboxes.
    Let us take a deeper look at these reasons.
    CONTROLLED BURNS:
    Going back to Native Americans in America, controlled burning (later called Prescribed Fire) have saved the west from huge conflagrations. By burning large brush fields and using fire to thin understory brush in the forest, we kept the big boomers at bay. We had programs designed to reduce “chaparral” in the west, thus limiting the ability for fires to get ragingly out of control.

    In the early days of settling the west, ranchers regularly burned brush fields to make way for grazing and wildlife habitat.
    This entire program of controlled or prescribed fire is a near thing of the past.
    ROADS/FIRE BREAKS:
    When I started with the fire service in the 1970’s we had regularly scheduled building, repairing, cleaning, and maintaining fire breaks around rural housing areas and developments. We kept fire roads cleared and usable for large fire equipment. We had access to remote areas which allowed us to attack fires when they were small. Roads provided a place to start a safe backfire. Oh, backfires! Another art nearly lost today due to liability and excessive oversight by the media and radical enviro groups who have political power.
    LOGGING/TIMBER MANAGEMENT:
    If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you probably remember sawmills. They are all gone for the most part because the radical environmental rules have made logging a financial nightmare. You wonder why wood is so expensive these days? We cannot log; that’s why. Yes, there are still a few holdouts logging here and there. But the feds are hampered by so many regulations and restrictions that our timber stands either get bug infested or succumb to wildfires.

    We used to thin forest stands regularly – fire crews, inmate crews, machines that munch up underbrush, and yes, even pesticides to keep the forests healthy. Now, you can pick about any state in the west with timber and you see more bug-killed trees than live ones!
    In our western grasslands, the lack of proactive landscape management in desert states has resulted in vast acreages dominated by a cheatgrass-fire cycle that is ruining wildlife habitat and causing bigger and more damaging conflagrations. This invasive species needs to be managed or these western deserts will never be the same – nor will our wildlife species.

    In timber areas, for the most part, we no longer control pests and bugs; we no longer do any substantial thinning of the underbrush; logging is kaput, and forest management is a façade. It is not the fault of our public land managers; it is the imposition of radical regulation. It is politics.

    SUMMARY:

    Public land management is no longer based on science but rather politics. The same goes for wildlife management. Radical enviro groups lobby politicians (and raise untold dollars in support) to STOP all the things that will make our forests, brushlands, and deserts safe and healthy. It is ironic (and pathetic) because for all their efforts to “save the world” they are destroying our world, piece by piece.

    To see fires in California reach half a million acres is beyond belief!
    What can we do? We must STOP the silliness and over-regulation and allow sound public land management, never forgetting that public lands are FOR the public. Help good politicians get elected and stay in office. Recall bad politicians. Do everything in your power to negate, refute, or STOP the radical movement that has stagnated management of our resources.

14. California is burning to the fullest extent. Dixie and now this.

    Is this God's wrath for the States' 20 years of war in Afghanistan??

15. Crying ! And praying without ceasing !

16. Please Father Yahweh, help your people all around the world. In our King of Kings, Yahshua Ha Mashiach 💜 I ask Amein ! Shalom !

18. "positive feedback loops"?
    No…
    Something tells me you will…in the very near future.

19. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

20. Do you know if it is traveling towards El Dorado Hills/Cameron park area?

21. Y'all remember when the forests were managed? Yeah, those were the days

22. to everyone who ever said, global warming doesnt exist ……………………………………………………………………………..Hello

23. Stand up and fight. Why are American Taxpayer always footing the freakin bill, while have homeless Americans.

24. The wealthy refuse to acknowledge the fact that the climate is changing. They will be forced to pay for their ignorance. Make them pay for their inaction.

25. A freakin crackhead from the poorest ghetto could not have messed this up any worse.

26. Get to the airport so we evacuate you but if you do not feel safe then do not go to the airport. In short, you are on your own.

27. What does Ned Price look like a dweeb and why does he even have a job? I want a refund on my taxes.

28. Reptilian “reporter”

29. Remember when Democrats were all praising Cuomo and Dr Fauci 😆

30. GOD WILL PROTECT WHAT BELONGS TO HIM ❤️💯🙏✊🕊️

31. 😞 and still we pay no heed

32. Thanks to the limousine liberals in the Sierra Club suing to stop cleaning projects

33. Ya Hussain

34. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth; and a third part of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

35. Funny how the media is trying to make this look worse than it really is, like with everything else they report on.

36. We’re living in the last of the last day’s.

37. It's horrible.
    With the fires 🔥
    Everything is going crazy
    All Europe is burning,
    Or fluds,or hail storms,
    Volcano 🌋 eruptions
    Somethig is happening is not just
    The weather.

38. How many of these fires are started by leftists in a desperate attempt to "prove" climate change?

39. They are lying. Women are being killed. Some areas there letting women work and go back to school but there’s more areas where they still can’t do anything.

40. The largest wildfire in the world right now is in Siberia which has never had any forest managment of any kind. It just dried up to the point that fires quit going out. I'm sure some fires are arson, but if that is what you are hanging your hat on then you have no place to wear a hat.

41. Could it surpass dixie fire?
