prisoners can do ityOu gOtTa rAkE tHe Santa Monica Mountain range and the surrounding mountain ranges.
Who's gonna rake hundreds of thousands of acres?
Who pays for that?
How often?
What about the wildlife and nature? Would it disrupt them?
Has anyone looked at google images of that terrain, and the types of brush, vegetation and trees?
But yeh, you gotta keep it all raked. [eyeroll]
prisoners can do it
Raking is not the solution since most of it isn't leaves or loose material but grass and brush. Controlled burns is what's called for and mostly just near cities and developments.Put animals such as goats on the mountains…that’s what Europeans and Asians do…
Darn I had tixTour has indicated the Genesis will move. Location TBD soon.
Should move it to oc, or lacostaDarn I had tix
This fire will probably bring the FBI in. There's a lot of corruption in LAFD as outlined in a civilian administrator's lawsuit today...
This fire chief made $650,000 last year, meanwhile firefighters ran out of water in 9 hours.
they did that in laguna beach where bovi livesPut animals such as goats on the mountains…that’s what Europeans and Asians do…
A month ago 14000 homes burned down because they claimed they had no water, today they've opened the spillways to avoid over topping.
yea, plus it rained a lot, the point is they always had the water.the fire burnt itself out
trump needs to send in national guard. why are they holding up a mexican flag if they hate going back there so much?

May have to employ work crews from the jails to help with clearing brush.they had fires last time when trump was in.........with water...still could not control it. Any fireman would tell you this about fires.. when it gets ahead of the fireman with wind..bye bye
Remember when the US did big things? Now we talk about using prisoners to clear brush, which could easily be done by a group of volunteers on a weekend.

You clear brush to establish fire barriers, not huge empty hillsides far away, I'm not an expert but a couple hundred yards should be enough, it's doable in areas near large developments.that could help but depends on how much area. Very dry area it is one reason why people like living there. The north east is very damp

Much of brush clearing is controlled burns also, which is very easy - as long as it doesn't get away from you.
Yes they can, but embers can be handled with people back behind protecting their homes along with fire depts, you cant have a wall of fire roaring up to homes, that's almost impossible, with little or no brush it's not a wall of fire, it's a grass fire.i would think the wind could carry a fire a long way

there were several people that saved their homes with garden hoses(at least 1 died too), a concerted effort WITH the fire dept to soak things before the fire gets there would work.that is not possible..many old people along with many are not home
Right now 1 billion gallons/hr is being dumped from oroville dam(24 billion.day), this will likely continue for 10 days at least, imagine if they could save some of that water for farms in the summer and for LA during fire season?
