Forest Fires

Climate changes. It always has. The knee jerkers don't seem to understand that the weather changes daily. The average over 5 days, 5 years or 500 years will certainly change.

Same issue that we have with healthcare. So much money (forest service budget) goes to the symptoms (fighting of fires) and not enough to prevention (clear cutting, thinning, building materials, fire breaks, prescribed burns etc.)

Everyone who has actually fought wildfires speak your piece. Everyone who has actually been a victim of a wildfire, let's hear what you think. Sorry guys but I've fought countless of them. I've seen my neighbors homes go up in flames. I fought the SCU fire as it burned right up and over my home. It's not political bullshit. It's arson, stupidity and mother nature.

I did my time from 1987-1994.

Seems like a lifetime ago. I have no desire to ever do it again. Seen everything I care to both good and also the most tragic and shitty days of my life.

Had it not been for family and a couple friends our place would not be here.
