Shot by a guy on an e-bike. Better than anything you'll see on the "real" news stations.

we see that everyday, all day, every news station.

the palisades are so much worse, whole neighborhoods burned.

and we're lucky it wasn't worse, and the palisades are on the coast.

what's a fire break to a 70mph wind? good thing hawaii is so far away.

did you know the sands from the sahara are carried across the atlantic on the wind?

fire breaks around properties should be the width of the disk, Mathis plow (3 to 5 feet), or blade (6 to 12 feet). These widths are usually sufficient to contain most creeping or slowly moving ground fires, but will not stop crown fires.

How do you maintain 15 million acres?

I know! GPS collars on goats. Control them like drones.  

Fire breaks used to be common. It's good policy. Keeping the dead wood out, Limiting the fuel. Those are good policy ideas. It doesn't Immunize against fire, but handling a fire that has immense fuel,fuel that shouldn't be there, but lefty, tree hugger decisions caused..
If that was Never the policy, it needs to be,
Put some people to work. The cost of the way things are being done is insane.
