And they laughed at Trump about “sweeping” the forests. 1 hour fuels is where it starts.

Fantastic explanation! Even a 6th grader could see how this works. Too bad Gavin denies the basic facts of forestry management. Hopefully Californians will elect some smarter people next time they have the chance. Less lip service and more common sense.

@SwiftOnSecurity Understanding the science behind wildfires is essential for all, especially in today's climate. Knowledge empowers action and creates effective responses to mitigate these devastating events. 🔥 #WildfireAwareness

Twin souls born under a ring of fire will either save the world or be the keys to its destruction by darkness. Prophecy. Magic. The blood of dragons. And the fight to prevent the apocalypse. Out now! #ThóhmMáwéYum #NewBook #NewAuthor

got curious about California terrain geography and explored most parts of CA be it moraines in Yosemite or the anza borrego etc etc.. took a tour with the guide at Sequoia and understood ancient patterns .. such a beautiful land as most parts of the world are but where you live its even more beautiful if you know the land.. would recommend people atleast those in California to watch the documentary hotshot ..

I grew up in the redwoods and as a kid I used to wander around the forest looking at what we called fairy rings where the trees had been through fire in the past and then just grew around the burn scars.

Public documents request just shattered Gavin Newsom’s entire narrative on the Pacific Palisades fire Official California Wildfire Management Plan obtained “Let it burn” “California has continually said they denied responsibility for any part of the Palisades fire, those orders to let it burn inside a California state parks wildfire mitigation plan raise serious new questions about the origin of the fire and California's involvement in it” This is a bombshell. California let the fire started by the arsonist days before the Pacific Palisades fire burn on purpose, creating the Pacific Palisades fire

🔥 Fighting fire with fire 🔥 When a wildfire is moving fast, firefighters can use firing operations—a tactic that involves using small, carefully controlled fires ahead of the wildfire. These fires burn away dry grass, brush, and other vegetation, removing the fuel the wildfire needs to keep going. The goal: slow it down or stop it in its tracks. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, these experienced CAL FIRE firefighters expanded their knowledge of using fire as a tool, understanding fire behavior, and working under real-time pressure, just like they would during an emergency. #CALFIRE #Training #ReadyForWildfire #Preparedness #Skills #Operations #WildlandFirefighter

Major amounts of black smoke is being emitted by the wildfire between Borger and Stinnett, Texas. Currently fire crews cannot get in to fight this fire because it is in the river bed of the Canadian River and is extremely difficult to fight given the terrain. Max Velocity

The Bedrock Fire had some firing operations yesterday to deepen and secure pivotal flanks on the fire. #oregon #wildfire #orfire Looks great. One section of the fire had a slop-over last night, but nightshift resources were able to corral the spots. The fire is now 16,400 acres and 20% contained. Solid work all around. Thanks to the subscribers that shared this📷. Cheers 🙏🍻

“In event of a wildfire, let it burn” “The state is not responsible for monitoring or responding to this fire” A lot of conflicting messages coming out of Gavin Newsom‘s office when it comes to the Palisades wildfire. One thing is certain, Gavin Newsom is blaming anyone and everyone except Gavin Newsom.

Is Tim Houston still spraying Nova Scotia's forests with glyphosate, thus increasing the risk of wildfire, even after he banned us from hiking in the park to reduce the risk of wildfire? Nova Scotia fined me $28,872.50 for walking into the woods because my sneakers were too great a fire hazard in light of the risk of wildfire.
