California doesn't consider arson to be the use of deadly force or risk of serious bodily injury I take it?

Not trying to start this thread towards the restricted part of the FF,but for every victim that died he should be convicted of each one.
Too bad to see all this going on.

Stay safe out there. I hope no harm comes your way, or anybody else's for that matter.

I wish I could send some rain you're way.
My mill yard has only dried out completely for around 5 days this summer. Record amounts of rain here. Right now it's so sticky out around the mill I gotta be careful to not lose my boots.

Bless you - zero rain this year so far.

Rob
Been all too close to fires not long ago here! You feel helpless when those things get going.
Stay safe!

Still here this morning. Looks like the forward rate was stopped at sunset and there is no wind today. 10 % containment. Cheers to all.

Stephen1 · May 21, 2025, 10:10:45 AM

Here's hoping it stays away and they get control of it with no wind.

This fire is 15 minutes old .

Did they let the arsonist out of jail, or is it a family tradition?

doc henderson · June 10, 2025, 05:02:51 PM

well, take your fan buggy and go put it out!

tule peak timber · June 10, 2025, 05:23:12 PM

1 hour in

LeftFinger · June 10, 2025, 07:17:46 PM

I wish you luck smoke is so bad here I never went outside today.
Air quality index of 204 today . Normal should be about 20
Not a day for an old fella with COPD

Rob, I hope you avoid the fires. Unfortunately, your climate is much drier than ours.

I saw a couple, one which was quite large, at work today. One was really rolling, not sure if it was started by lightning or what. Thankfully, it started raining not long after and seemed to not be too much of an issue by the time I went by it an hour later. Prior to the rain, I could see the dark smoke from several miles away when I went out to get my tackle out of the boat due to a fishing trip being cancelled because of weather. Most of what we have burning down there is Cogan Grass. It burns very hot and often kills the pines, including longleaf.

FF Member svart ole lost his home in the Camp House fire a few weeks ago. He's got a old Moter Home to live in for now . 2 fires with in a few miles of each other burned over 3,000 acers and 150 structures.

Sorry to hear that. Svart Ole was a member that I used to follow as he had some interesting adventures, and posted about what he and another old friend would do to "stay out of trouble".
His first post.
