That section of the I5 is beautiful and just coming off wildflower season there must be an amazing amount of kindling to feed that fire.😥

You can kiss those home insurance companies goodbye.

​@@omi_god"State law gives the Insurance Department the power to approve or deny insurers' requests to raise premiums. Insurance companies complain the process has been holding up the increases they seek as a result of what they say are increased costs due to rising climate-change risks and inflation." That's been their major gripe is being hogtied by California policies.

Loss of life isn’t even a concern for you since you have to make such an asinine comment.

[@sdilluminatigrandfounder1813]

@@omi_god They have ratings, and if too many of their customers file claims, the rating get's lowered, and then mortgage companies won't accept them. That further hurts their bottom line. And the homeowners then have to pay exorbitant prices for insurance, sometimes from the company of the loan holder's choosing. And no, this is happening nationwide. People are losing homes over it even without claims, and insurance companies are only insuring in low risk areas. And there aren't many of those.

It’s amazing how many times reporters misspeak and it makes it into the channels KZbin cut. Fire spanning thousands of miles. It is less than 400 miles to SF.

The last update was 2 AM at 10,500 acres. We don’t need footage of sagebrush. We need to know where the fire is now, six hours later. It must be 12 to 15,000 acres by now.

12 as of the time I write this.

Gorman and California City are open desert motocross riding areas. There is nothing there but dirt. . No buildings , no humans except riders riding and / or camping the night. They went home so no one will be hurt and no homes will be burned. .Now it won't burn again this summer.

Maybe if you would stop leaving the terrain so damn dry. Water your states land or preburn the dry land. Unless you want the state to burn... then proceed😮

You do realize that watering the land will cause more fuel to grow.
