    I live in Loyalton. I’ve been through enough of these in my life up and down the west coast and the response to this one has been impressive. Planes with retardant bombed the west side hard and the east got to kind of run in the beginning. The wind in this area blows mainly west to east which takes it away from us. Lots of families with pets and livestock have been evacuated, I hope they can go home soon!

    When another fire named the "Bear Fire" destroyed the community of Berry Creek in 2020, you would think that name would be archived. Why add to the confusion by having another "Bear Fire"? Yeah, I know that fires are named for the closest road, etc. But you would think that they could be a little more creative, rather than re-traumatizing the people that went through that horrific fire in September of 2020, and adding to the confusion. (Yes, the fire was renamed the "North Complex Fire", but most of us East Oroville Foothill residents still call it the "Bear Fire".)

    Watched a Channel 3 helicopter livestream of the fire in Calaveras Co a month or so ago. Camera guy wasn't interested in showing the fire perimeter. Instead searching for big flames and tanker drops. Not only tanker drops but super close-up shots so you couldn't see the surroundings very well but you could read all the plane markings very nicely.

    18:00 seems that painting some of that timber could only help save it, NO? (realize it's complicated, maybe slowing progression at wrong time only invites it at worse time) Masticators need sonar or radar rock detection, it can be done cost effectively today.

    It comes down to the fact that people don’t want smoke in their neighborhood especially if it is man made or in other words prescribed fire and they don’t like the fear that having a managed natural fire in the land brings to their lives. After all most of CA is not very conducive to natural managed fire. Prescribed fire would be a great RAKE but folks just don’t like the smoke. Maybe by your education to the public will help them understand.

    • @RootofEcstasy

      We deal with it down here in Mammoth. It's a drag but people know it's important and we don't complain about it. Not sure what you mean by, "California is not very conducive to natural managed fire".

    • @XAlpineSuptDN
      @XAlpineSuptDN 23 години тому

      @@RootofEcstasy Some places are conducive to it up in the mountains etc and larger wilderness areas that can allow fire to roam. Some of the national parks do manage fire for resource benefits in their wilderness areas mainly because they’ve done a lot of Prescribed fire work or they have ample natural barriers to keep a fire confined. But think of the brush fields etc where it’s an all or nothing fuel type. So maybe I misspoke a little bit. I agree with you that people could just deal with the smoke from Rx Fire but time and time again you see the uproar from the public about Rx fire burning too long and too smoky. An Rx fire I was on in Yosemite off the Tioga Road in the early 2000’s was 7000 acres yet during our 2 weeks there trying to light the thing we had less than a handful of days because of smoke issues to actually add fire to the ground. Maybe more and more people are coming to the understanding the need for fire as a better rake than mechanical thinning piling and burning but in my time in fire there was always pushback from the public.

    30 years ago when they planted those trees their crystal ball didn’t tell them that these fire conditions were going to exist. Maybe now they are learning something but 30 years ago they didn’t predict the future because of cracked crystal ball.

    Retardant works better in grass and brush but not perfectly. I’ve lit burnouts from grass that has retardant in it and it didn’t prevent fire from running. But it does slow things down. I always laugh when I hear air attack saying we are building line with retardant. Although one time I did see Smokejumpers light a burnout from a fresh retardant line in grass. That was interesting.

    Friends who live out in the woods, sure enough their life revolves around, how much can they spend on making their place fire safe/as can be? It never stops, its their life. 5000.00 is nothing. A whole summer's work readies it for the next full summer's work. As you get older this becomes really hard to keep up. Is that how you want to spend your life? That 40 acres can become a life's purpose.
