Why is it that every state has timber, but California is the only one that is always on fire?

Very dry and hot there.

You can't be that stupid, can you?

Very little rainfall and very low humidity = dry grass/timber.

Couple that with douche nozzles who throw cigarettes out the window and you get wildfires.

You can't be the only state that has the exact weather. If you ask me, it seems as though it's Obamas fault.

They have no electricity for the water pumps.

We have no WATER for the water pumps.

It's piped in from Colorado (river).

Good thing Arizona likes California.

It's because there are so many flamers out there...

^LMAO! So true, but they are all up north, where it does rain (and in Hollyweird).

I guess they are all up north.

Then maybe it's because it's so dangerous to re-fry beans?

yes, we have no tamales!

Same as in Oregon. Because there are laws against cutting and clearing the dead dry stuff. You know, the kindling. The tree huggers don't want anything cut anymore. Even if it would prevent fires. Makes sense huh?

I remember seeing burnt mountains just east of Tillimook when I was a kid... should look a lot different these days but back then it was just burnt stumps and stuff...

Yeah they used to clear cut and do controlled burns all the time. Not anymore. Therefore when you have a little fire, you get a wildfire.

I think this was the result of a wildfire.. was in the late 60's or early 70's... maybe I'll google it. it may not be as bad as I remember but as a kid it freaked me out..

Yeah when I loved in Central Oregon there were fires every year. But one year there was a raging wildfire. Burned for weeks. Our house was in danger. You could hardly breath. It sucked.

I think Big Chief did alot of loving around Oregon back in the day....

it says the Tillimook fire was in 1933 and 270,000 acres of forest was destroyed. Could I have seen the results 35 years later..?? seems like it would have grown back some by then....

No one's mentioned that cleaning up the brush eliminates a lot of fires. Kookiefornia must have "eco laws" against it.

Only in CA could you have a law against cleaning up brush to help prevent forest fires.

Actually in California you have a law requiring you to clean up brush and another law banning the cleaning of brush to the possible risk to an endangered mouse.
