This is still a relatively small fire, and the guys and girls fighting it are good. But I don't envy them--this is hard and dangerous work and it's hot out there. Let's all hope that they stay safe.
i like how the cities and states can regulate and force us to maintain our land a certain way, but they are allowed to leave "their" land completely unmaintained to the point where it literally kills people.
What would you have them to do??? Install irrigation. It looks very dry & hot. Plus they just said humidity was at 13%. Which is basically nothing. You'd even have a very hard time putting in firebreak rds though rocky mtns. In those conditions you wouldn't be able to do a controlled fire with no fire break rd.
Gotta love that PGE _chooses_ to call them “public safety outages,” when they are in fact *we don’t have our act together outages.*
how can firefighters even move in that heat?😢
How
Old Lawley Toll Rd. Steep and difficult to work in.
It's great to see the "Heavy Iron" DC-10 conducting fire suppressant drops. This fire has some incredible fire-fighting support early on. That is nice to see in light of fires being allowed to grow to unmanageable size before effective assets are deployed.
As much as I loved living in Calistoga; this is the MAIN reason I sold the house and left the state. Not only the fire danger, but breathing that horrible, dirty air.
After the Dixie fire almost burned our house, we packed up and a year later moved (fled) to live in Italy where we are now very happy living near the medieval town of Assisi!
I suppose you would call us "climate refugees"
What else is new this happens every year around here. Probably yet another PG&E fault.
I'm surprised there's anything left to burn up there from a few years ago the fire that devastated that area
was 6-7 years ago, lots of brush has grown back and the trees that survived THAT fire are fragile and dry. its 100 degrees rn. this is scary because im about 15 miles away and i can see smoke haze. i pray for these people, thats fire zone
That was my thought too.
It has burned almost yearly
@@hollyshaw-elliemaeStay safe and get out of there sooner. Don't wait. I was in the CZU fire. We are all holding our breathes
No!
Her husband or wife is so lucky
NOT AGAIN!!!!
Oh no!!! Here we go again!!!! It just never takes a sabatical!! Then it will go west!
Ugh
ourson is really a big business in cali.
California
Why don't we ever get information on the cause? NapaCounty is typically silent and does not report cause. Is this wine industry cover up?
Most people by this point understand that pyroterrorists have been repeatedly setting fires for the last few years especially….. not “simple” arsonists.
Probably 97% of the time an investigation is needed to determine the cause. It could be a few hours or it could be a few days before anyone knows. Fireworks, hot vehicle on dry grass, animal touching electric fence, rodent chewing into line, downed power line, lawnmower hitting a rock, cigarette, an automobile towing something with a dragging chain, campfire, arson....it could be one of all kinds of possibilities.
Most fires are caused by human activity. Mostly accidentally.
But the biggest contributor is climate change.
Electrified fence in a vineyard sparked the 2020 fire, which destroyed half of Napa County.
@@maggiejohnson5891 Pyroterrorists, you mean PG&E?
Arson
Man made
95 percent
Here is a thought: The difference between California land management and Ranchers and Farmers land management is that California lets the brush become overgrown, California tries to stop fires when they occur - vs. Ranchers and Farmers land management that uses fire as a preventative tool to keep the forests healthy. Forest fires are a natural part of that ecosystem for many tens of thousands of years. The Ranchers and Farmers learned this understanding from the Native Americans because it is a deep part of their culture. California will continue to burn every year until we abandoned all the ill conceived environmental policies that have been put in place since the early 1960's. You can't fix STUPID!
I know the area well.
If California took care of its land and didnt let "environmentalists" have any involvement in that process this wouldnt happen so often. Same goes for PG&E. Most of their rural and remote infrastructure is in a pathetic state of disrepair, thats why they just turn power off under certain conditions.
You're not even a real account. Go away you don't even live here, you know nothing and just want to stir things up.
If there were no environmentalists there would be a Love Canal in every city and town of any size in America
@@user-er1on9yi9e we already do, though.
if you lived in the area and understood the terrain, youd shut your pie hole because you have zero clue what they are battling. some of those are CLIFFS that just drop off the roads, it is one main highway that literally winds around a mountain and its hell on a good day with stupid drivers, on a fire day... its absolutely apocalyptic to be inside of. i live here and it take 2 hours to drive over that mountain, when its basically a 30 miles distance. its not easy to GET too much less send crews of people into cliffs of woods. it isnt unmaintained. its FOREST you dolt
