@jokker73 well some of us like to live in the woods so on tha piss off

and the homes would have never been lost if the firefighters in charge did there job and would have listen to the local firefighters who told them not to set a back burn

I aint got time to put that shit out, so get of yer ass and do it yourself

[korvelo]

just build fireproof homes and NEVER evacuate... fire fighting is just ridiculous and anyone that builds combustible in a fire zone is stupid and irresponsible.

[jokker73]

If people would stop building their homes on narrow roads in the middle of dense brush with no water supply maybe those 40 homes would not have been lost. Don't blame the firefighters for trying fix an already bad situation.

[norcallogger]

the inept ability of these people are what is making the fires worse than they have to be

the fire fighters are doing a ok job but when they back fire a location to try to control the fire and dont check the freaking weather to find out o guess what we have wind comeing so dont do that and then we get more than 40 homes lost and a lot of land roasted

I think this is Karma's way of telling California that they are a bunch of liberal, good for nothing 'tards. Hopefully it will burn itself off the map.

That is why you should move during the dry season.
