California Wildfire Strikes Again

US is the world greatest contributor of global warming these continuous forest fires are adding to that US govt. should take care of this

i heard somewhere that the san diego fires that happened year after year for 6 years? had been set by SDG&E. so far san diego hasn't been hit this year. from my memory, this is the second year in a row that santa barbara has been hit by a large fire. could it be SBG&E?

karma is a bitch...or maybe a bitch on fire...

Do we really need a melodic rthym playing to people's houses burning? I mean, The Roof is on Fire might as well be playing.

Looks like they got a bit of a break with the weather. I feel terrible for the people and animals being hurt by these fires.

Last year many of the devastating fires where set. Arson takes a huge toll on California. I feel bad for people that have to leave their homes and belongings and return to rubbles.

California Dreaming on a Winters Day. Every state has a season, this is Californias: Its really rather normal. Though it is true human negligence is the cause for propelling the bulk of it, there is a reason why California gets more than its fare share. It is actually rather normal to have fires in California, even pre-man days. Some trees actually disperse seeds that require fire in order to germinate in California. If trees have planned this, you have to look at it as rather normal. California fires were there before man, are accelerated during its time here, and will continue long after.

Never understood this. They just keep burning forever?

Wow, I sure hope they get those things under control soon!

It's time to move this is a man made problem. too little water too many people.

Just a free light for weed.

Sad sad sad. I wish there was a way to gather the brush so that there wouldn't be so many fires! Maybe as a community service?

Prayers for the families that are affected by the fires. God listens even if many of you think I'm silly to pray.

Wild fires are nothing new to (Southern) California. Beach Boys even made a song called Malibu Fires.

There's a lot of dry vegetation, low humidity, and strong gust of dry winds (Santa Ana winds). Which equates to tons of giant, red fires.

No, it is not an act of god trying to "punish" us because we are a bunch of liberal, scandalous, promiscuous, gay-loving people.

Well, I hope you CA-ers stay safe and the fire(s) dies out quickly.

its raining Ash right now outside

The climate and plant life here makes fire unfortunately very common. A lot of hot weather, strong winds and dried out plants = lots of big fires.

But usually it is not arson. Like ghost said, they always investigate these things.

I'm not a scientist but am I the only one who thinks CA's getting way to many forest fires? Could it be man made? Maybe they should do an investigation.

It is a sad reality,..living in California year after year with very little rain, a population boom taking more water from our reservoirs, and poor land/farm management that keeps California in a continual state of "tinderbox." You will see fires every year in CA directly related to poor policy and planning.
