I was watching a bit of the news last night (Thursday) and saw a fire report of what I believe they said was in the Escondido area. They showed some footage of a burned house that appeared to have a 914 in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Fires don't start naturally unless by lightning. There is always some idiot(s) either throwing a cigarette my mistake or on purpose.
The problem is the media announcing to everyone that it's Fire Season and Red Flag days.... F'n arsonists. It's like telling Elmer Fudd it's Rabbit Season. |

Fires don't start naturally unless by lightning. There is always some idiot(s) either throwing a cigarette my mistake or on purpose. The problem is the media announcing to everyone that it's Fire Season and Red Flag days.... F'n arsonists. It's like telling Elmer Fudd it's Rabbit Season. Like I said about Pendleton, it's an active Marine base with numerous Infantry, Aviation, and other combat arms units all training across the base on live-fire ranges. All it takes is using tracers or even what you'd consider an innoculous smoke grenade to get a big fire going. During the early summer of '05 we were constantly having ranges shut down because a tracer would land off in a field and start a major brushfire. Hell, if it weren't for the fact that a road went behind the barracks, a grass fire would have taken out the School of Infantry barracks due to a fire that started all the way up at the grenade range. But outside military bases, when it gets super dry even the smallest things can get one going. Most smart folks can tell when things are just too dry to do any fire or even camp stove cooking. Unfortunately, not everyone is that smart. |
