San bernardino is super corrupt when it comes to funding. And with heat having been 100-115 for 2 months straight now, I wouldn't be surprised this fire was accidentally started homeless junkie since that been on rise for couple years now. This was all ticking time bomb every year heat get worse and worse. And extreme rain with extreme heat.

It wouldn't have gotten out of control if they hadn't ignored it for most of the first day. Where were the helicopters?

[@libbyringo8419]

Most of these fires were 'runners' with most of their paths running away from structures. They fight these fires differently. And remember, more fires mean more workers being pulled from numerous states. I remember the Old Fire in the year(2003) there were fires in San Diego and elsewhere. Many of our own fire fighters were on jobs in other counties. We had guys who had never fought mountain fires before who were from out of state. It takes a while to get organized.

This is why were supposed to invest in these concerns further preventing these fires. Instead of arguing over homelessness and taxes we should responsibly create new ways with city fundings to help our ecosystem. Natural phenomenon and Arson are literally taking our climate out, now our vegetation.. All the pollution in the air isnt slowly evaporating, diluting or cleaning itself. It's just getting worse the more pollution in the air the better the opportunity for it to start another fire!

[@fromalongtimeago]

They have had numerous starts in the last few weeks in the foothills that have been knocked down fast. This one was started during a low humidity and high wind event. Are the transients in the camps causing the fires?

[@Papparratzi]

Actually they said they couldn’t send air support because the smoke was too thick due to a lack of wind.

Did you look at this fire? There is no way any state could afford "renewing" a *forest* year after year. Natives would have just let it burn and went to live somewhere else.

From 1952-1983 only one fire exceeded 10,000 acres on the entire right coast of America. From 1983 to present day, the fires have only gotten bigger and more costly in acreage, economically, and in lives; on what now is the left coast of America. What did we do when the right coast of America was in charge? That would be 'Forest Management.' However, FOREST MANAGEMENT would mean less GREEN HOUSE GASSES being released into the air. Which means less CARBON TAX They can steal from the taxpayer. Just how many are forced out of their homes, who voted for this nonsense, have now lost their entire lives to the notion that still seems to be preached today! Why not use our own trees and our own labor. to build our homes. At a cheaper price. And fill up the treasury of nearly every state in the Union with the activity of home-purchasing. Can't do that though. That would mean less control of the Prolateaiot. That's all of us in the 99% crowd. VOTE LIBERAL IDEOLOGY OUT OF ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICES. FED, STATE, AND LOCAL. DAMN IT!
