B-Man Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 YA THINK? Suppressing fires has failed. Here’s what California needs to do instead. There’s an overwhelming to-do list. But one of the clearest conclusions, as experts have been saying for years, is that California must begin to work with fires, not just fight them. That means reversing a century of US fire suppression policies and relying far more on deliberate, prescribed burns to clear out the vegetation that builds up into giant piles of fuel. Such practices “don’t prevent wildfires,” says Crystal Kolden, an assistant professor at the University of California, Merced focused on fire and land management. “But it breaks up the landscape, so that when wildfires do occur, they’re much less severe, they’re much smaller, and when they occur around communities, they’re much easier to control.” Plus: “That will require sweeping regulatory reforms, and tons of money.” Maybe California should also try not chasing off their tax base.

The Southern California fire was started by people holding a gender reveal party. What’s your point? You think the fires are started by climate change? Because it’s REALLY REALLY REALLY hot outside? 😂

Buffalo_Gal Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 So, I did not believe it as I never think of Texas as particularly forested. So, I looked it up:California has 33 million acres of forest land (USDA) According to 2011 figures from the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA (which is usda)), there are 62.4 million acres of forests and woodlands in Texas. (VERY little is public land, only 675K acres) 2

They’re primarily due to the fact that we had a wet spring that spurred our undergrowth grasses to create excess fuel. Those grasses dry out all summer and burn when the winds pick up in September....every year. So this years fire are actually due to us having too much rain earlier in the year, not too little now.

I think the lack of brush clearing is the poor forest management part. Texas has very little public forest land, I would think private owners would not allow ripe fire conditions (undergrowth) to accumulate. (This is just a guess, however, because as I said, I was surprised that Texas had so much forested land.) Edited September 21, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal

KD in CA Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Glass fire in Napa started overnight yesterday and is raging out of control in the northern valley. St Helena is suffering significant damage to wineries, businesses, homes. Calistoga just enacted mandatory evacuation. 1

There was an emergency broadcast alert ordering mandatory evacuations in Santa Rosa.
