SgtFuryUSCZ Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 ***/// Hmmnnn.... we can see the burn at the base of the trees, charred up to at about roof-height... could it be that the outlaying fires travelled through the gas lines & took out the structures that way...? . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtaxguy Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 There must be several thousand videos on line from phones and body cams. Fire spread in every way possible through excess fuel in unbuilt areas and mainly topping fires and wind blown burning debris in densely occupied areas. No conspiracies or secret weapons, just more bad policies due to left wing corruption and incompetence. The Redding FD stopped the Carr fire at our next door neighbor's fence minutes after we evacuated. Still had over $20K of smoke and power outage damage. My third fire storm, and by far the worst. Until the Camp fire that is. Worst ever in US since San Francisco fire following '06 earthquake, and probably Atlanta during the march to the sea. The air get super heated and tightly closed things - like some trees and houses - just explode. Air drawn into the flames creates whirlwinds that will take the roof right off of a house, but not necessarily burn it. Happened to two houses in our neighborhood. Wind speed at the wall of the Carr fire "firenado" peaked at more than 225 mph. It was heading down the Sacramento River Canyon and suddenly turned north and burned its way between several large highland subdivisions taking out all the scattered big lot homes between them and scores of homes on the subdivisions' fire=facing sides. Had it not turned it would have taken out at least 5,000 homes and Redding's downtown. None of us would have had a chance. Or fire jumped around 3 miles in a minute to bring it within a half mile of high density areas which it burned thru at 5 to 10 mph until our heroes stopped it. And the Camp fire in Paradise was much, much worse than our Carr fire 6 weeks earlier. BTW - NOT climate change. We had decent rainfall last Spring and a Summer that actually was a bit cooler than average. But our Summers have ALWAYS been very hot and dry. The problem is insanely bad forest management by the incompetent dogmatic idiots in Sacramento and Washington. Dead trees cannot be removed from public lands, and CA has scores of millions of them. Controlled burns to clear brush buildups are so restricted that they're very big news because they are so rare, and in several cases of federal properties not properly controlled resulting in huge wild fires that burned around a half million acres. High fuel areas have to burn and sooner or later they all do. It's an essential element to the health of the forests in the US West. The trick is to set small fires that you have to keep relighting on ideal burn days to clear the forest floor out a bit without hurting the trees, killing the flora that prevent soil erosion into waterways, or polluting air moving into populated areas. There are too few such days every year, and on such days there are far too few competent fire managers to do all that is needed. But that's the American way: steal the nickles and dimes from all types of maintenance and protection budgets to fund pork barrels and buy votes, then burn bales and pallets of money when something literally goes to hell. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
