Soĺ Cal fires

You aren't stopping that fire in the wind storm no matter the FD budget. The FD budget is 900 Million....

When fire can jump 10 lane freeways you think a Cat D9 fire break cut in the hillside makes a difference? Embers blowing 1/4-1/2 mile down wind. Good luck.

Sucks but the situation as it came about is totally indefensible from a fire service perspective. Everybody looks for someone to blame. Nature is a ***** sometimes.
