The devastating, deadly wildfire was most likely (meaning, yeah, this is what happened) caused by a down power line. So, still mankind related, but, not because you ate a burger last week
(Mercury News)Â Downed PG&E power lines, amid high winds, may have sparked the deadly Camp Fire that has destroyed the town of Paradise and killed at least nine people, according to hours of firefighter radio transmissions reviewed by Bay Area News Group.
At about 6:33 a.m. Thursday, firefighters were dispatched to a vegetation fire “under the high tension power lines†across the Feather River from Poe Dam, where Cal Fire officials have pinpointed the fire’s origin, according to the transmissions. The first firefighters arrived there at 6:43 a.m and noted the fire was being buttressed by 35 mph winds.
“We’ve got eyes on the vegetation fire. It’s going to be very difficult to access, Camp Creek Road is nearly inaccessible,†one firefighter told dispatch. “It is on the west side of the river underneath the transmission lines.â€
As firefighters rushed to Poe Dam early Thursday morning, each truck acknowledged over the radio, “Copy, power lines down,†as part of safety protocol for firefighters.
Many other of the wildfires over the past few years have been caused by the same thing.
Of course, we are getting this stuff
Fire chief: climate change helped make California wildfires more devastating
…
As Los Angeles fire chief Daryl Osby took the podium, strong gusts swirled smoke, ash and dust through grey skies. Along with updates on progress in fighting the fire, he said this blaze signified a shift: fire crews are now facing the most erratic and challenging fight of their lives.
Climate change, Osby said, was undeniably a part of why the fires burning in northern and southern California were more devastating and destructive than in years past.
The death toll stood at 25: two in the LA-area fires, 23 around the destroyed town of Paradise 500 miles to the north. The total was expected to rise.
“The fact of the matter is if you look at the state of California, climate challenge is happening statewide,†Osby said, adding that “it is going to be here for the foreseeable futureâ€.
So, state which is very dry in a lot of areas. Environmentalists won’t allow clearing of brush and controlled burns. Tons of people with growing population and infrastructure, and some of the latter is getting old. A state prone to high speed dry winds. So, yeah, let’s make it all about ‘climate change.’ They make everything about it, especially tragedies. Because this is a sick cult.
As part of Trump’s Sick Cult, your lack of insight is expected. No reasonable person is arguing that global warming is sparking fires, that claim is a logical fallacy from the right.
Certainly the conditions from global warming AND all the other issues make fires worse. And you’re correct, if we clear all the brush and trees we should no longer have wild fires. Bare dirt hardly burns. Is that the world you want?
The United States, or any other free people, needs access to accurate, truthful information. Without it we’re serfs making decisions based on lies told by those in power. When you make decisions based on lies, you are under the control of those feeding you the lies. . . .
The American people have never been more misinformed by the media, but they’ve also never had more access to more information. The house of cards that is the mainstream media will either fall or be forced to change completely.
Until that happens, it’s up to you not only to be informed but to inform others. -Derek Hunter
And so we patriots do.
Climate Change is a government ruse for more money and power.
Nearly every scientist disagrees with you.
What conditions from global warming make fires worse? One would have to know what the fire would have been without “global warming†conditions, which is impossible.
And all this weather would be solved by high taxes, seizure of wealth, and a communist world government.
You are an idiot.
Environmentalists won’t allow clearing of brush and controlled burns
Standard fire-prevention measures for generations Apparently the environuts don’t want to prevent forest fires.
You’re an idiot.
Who typed Environmentalists won’t allow clearing of brush and controlled burns?
You can’t use what TEACH types as evidence, buttercup!
This where you might provide some factual evidence in rebuttal but, being the little dumbass you are, you can’t.
The troll continues to incite and inflame tensions. He is an NPC regurgitator. Nothing to see here.
Once again trolling.
Speaking in inflammatory tones in order to illicit a response from the community.
You don’t like being referred to as a sick cult? We thought most people did.
TEACH described those that understand global warming as a “Sick Cult”. Why did you not accuse him of inflammatory tones?
Because this is a sick cult.
You’re visiting a ‘hate’ site. Just about every post by TEACH is filled with mockery, ridicule and hate for his targets, which are usually Dems, libs, Blacks, LGBT members, scientists and immigrants.
We try to demonstrate how it feels to be a target of hate. It seems you don’t like it. Funny that.
And the troll responds with hate in return.
Its what trolls do. They spew hate in response to hate and then when they are approached with hateful rhetoric they say see this is a hateful site full of hate mongers…….LOLOLOL….NPC regurgitators. Paid swills most likely either the DNC or Russia or China. Its hard to tell. I don’t think its the DNC though because this troll doesn’t really understand what and who the progressives are of the Democratic party.
Um. It appears that that’s the world you’ve got. You can do it like this or you can do it under controlled conditions, but it’s the nature of that ecosystem to burn.
What conditions from global warming make fires worse? One would have to know what the fire would have been without “global warming†conditions, which is impossible.
Read the article.
Fire is fire. If there’s drought, that enhances the chance of a fire.
With adequate rain, hot weather is not an issue.
Drought conditions have increasingly affected the state over the past decade
Drought has been happening since the world began, so climate change is a joke, as usual.
I read the article. A fire chief said climate change is making fires worse. So the same question goes to the chief. What conditions from global warming make fires worse, and how would one know that?
Notice how his response is to READ THE ARTICLE when you ask him a question that requires a thoughtful approach with facts, figures and analyasis along with corroborating evidence.
This is the true sign of a Troll. An NPC who regurgitates talking points from their own side, so indoctrinated into their belief system they are incapable of having a legitimate conversation because the beginning premise of their conversations always start with I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE A MORNOIC IDIOT.
It’s simply Saul Alinsky tactics taught by the university of Moscow and practiced until they are able to be released onto the American right and the American left for the purpose of destroying civil discourse in this country.
