Cali is begging for money for many reasons. Taxes and insurance are proportional to the property value.Red Forman wrote:

We have done numerous controlled burns in my district. It took over 3 years to compile data and get the go ahead from the higher ups. We had to base the location on how many fires are in that location, etc etc. So far this year, in that particular parcel of Forest we burned this spring, we've had ZERO fires, as there is no dry fuel anymore and now its absolutely beautiful there.ATG wrote:
That is not done much. Environmentalist protest when natural habitats are disturbed, nevermind the irony that we disturb things just by living and nature requires fire. Gross stupidity and mismanagement are the norms.mcminty wrote:
To S3v3N or ATG: So as a follow up question to your reply to Spark - is there any back burning that is conducted in the off season to reduce the level of flammable material/undergrowth? A few weeks ago the Rural Fire Service (ie. the volunteer force) was conducting back burning in the "forrest" areas north of Sydney. It was rather hazy that day.. ><
Haha yeah Spark, we are fucked this year. I've heard that the AVERAGE summer temps will be hiiiigh 30's for Sydney.. and given the amount of rain we had earlier this year, combined with the absolute lack of rain now.. well.. joy.
Props to the firies, and keep safe S3v3N
You burn the vegetation you lose the stability in the soil, so follow it with heavy rains and you get land slides and floods. fun fun.Mekstizzle wrote:
Well surely the big rains will cancel out the big fires and create, a pretty normal situation
ATG should have started his biz here (Fl). Ya know.. subtropical rainforest..etc..Mekstizzle wrote:
I've never really heard of landslides and such in California, certainly nothing on a scale that's notable, and you guys have had fires like this and worse for years now. Also does it really rain that much in that area anyway, I dunno, you guys live there, I guess (ATG) ... and his business does sort of revolve around knowing how much rain there is...

While we are in a current drought there can be monsoonal rains, which are predicted for this winter. Landslide kill more people here than fires, while fires destroy more homes.Mekstizzle wrote:
