Are you trying to say he's lying? Stop trying to start problems. The fire department often let people back to their homes after a few hours even when the fire is really close.

Mal already explained it.

I'm trying to figure out why things aren't adding up. Sorry.

Well, when people are in a panic, they usually don't explain things thoroughly. Ask for a step by step story in a few days.

Geez, that must be terrible. I'm glad I live in North California. Good luck to you and your family.

You can always turn on any of the national news channels. Everyone is covering it...

Ah I live in southern California but in the Palm Springs area we don't get many fires here just lame valley-wide earthquake drills

KandleXTC · 11-16-2008, 05:16 PM

Sucks thats its burning over there. Won't be anytime soon when a fire starts here in San Diego.

Fires spring up near SD all the time. We had one here like a year ago. How long have you lived here??

And don't forget that huge fire we had in 2003.

I don't understand why Southern California hasn't figured out how to conducted routine controlled fires in at-risk areas before fire season starts up.

Well, I believe for the Yorba Linda fire, I heard they're one of the communities with very less water( As told by Channel 9.) And then the winds carried little Ember bits into other areas, which then caused more fires.
And I also don't have PE tomorrow due to the air quality, which is very horrible right now in California. And I heard some of the kids' houses at my school burned down, due to a call by the principal today.

With that logic, we should just go ahead and pave over the hillsides with concrete. All of Socal is a high risk for fire. There is no such think as a "low risk" zone.

Indeed, there is no such thing as a "low risk" zone. Just look at Tornado Alley, is that a "low risk" zone?( I'm just using Tornado Alley as an example.)

I was driving with my parents to this party family thing. And I saw half the mountain side on fire. It was beautiful yet tragic at the same time. :X We went past Sylmar.
