The leftist scumbag who started this fire needs to be hung by his thumbs while having a fire built under his sorry ass.
ReplyDeleteThe Dixie Fire and the Fly Fire, which the Dixie Fire later merged with, both appear to have been started by trees making contact with PG&E equipment.
DeleteThe Leftist scumbag college lecturer was merely starting fires within the fire perimeter hoping to trap and kill firefighters.
Just another summer day in California.
It is nasty. I live in Washoe County, just south of Pyramid Lake. We have had days with less than a mile visibility from the smoke. The air cleaners have been running non stop.
ReplyDeleteAnd Washoe county has closed all schools today due to air quality.
DeleteThe 'greens' who pushed hard to eliminate forest management in the Pyrite State should be strung up as well. Decades of brush, deadfalls, and other detritus built up, making for a large fuel load. All it took was a spark, be it from a lightning strike, sparking electricity transmission lines, carelessly disposed of smoking materials, an untended campfire, or arson to set it ablaze. Dry conditions, high winds, and the huge fuel load made the devastation inevitable. It was only a question of when.
ReplyDeleteYet, The (Green) Powers That Be in the Pyrite State have been caught by surprise?
It ain't globular warming boys & girls, its piss poor forest management and allowing everyone with a grievance complex to put the kibosh on any semblance of common sense logging with their incessant lawsuits over nonexistent (to a certain degree) forest creatures. The environazis would ratter ALL the forests burn to the ground than allow any sort of logging or logical forest management. These humongous fires are the result.
ReplyDeleteYou, Sir, have a better grasp on reality than do the apparatchiks in Washington D.C. who unfortunately 'manage' 46% of the land in California.
DeleteI salute you.
Fun Fact: Recently a federal judge denied the salvage logging of 7000 acres within a 410,000 acre burn in Mendocino National Forest. The litigants in part claimed that logging, producing lumber in sawmills and using wood waste to create electricity were all contributors to climate change.
His organization was also awarded $190,000 of taxpayer money to pay for their legal fees.
I feel the Southern states should sue California for using the term Dixie. Slander is what it is, Sir. Slander I say.

The lesson, as history always teaches, is: Don't Lose.
DeleteThe name is for Dixie Johnson. He was a local indian, rancher, tracker and Constable in the hills near where the fire started. The Dixie Rd runs through what is left of Johnson Ranch. The fire actually started near Camp Creek Rd. but I guess they didn't want to use Camp Fire 2 for a name.
