Firefighters try to beat back flames as Yosemite fire grows

[Snouter]

That's right the California forests are infinitely holier than anything in the middle east. It is sickening the US government spends trillions to fuck around in the devil's land in the middle east and does very little to stop forest fires. This is one are where drones would actually be useful, in addition to many other aircraft dropping water, crews, etc. Ya know, like doing anything a responsible fucking government would insure happens to protect the land! One would think the Monkey in Chief would care since he spent his early years in a grass hut.

WILDFIRE JIHAD: AL QAEDA URGES TERRORISTS TO START WILDFIRES, CALIFORNIA AMONG POSSIBLE TARGETS | East County Magazine

A recent issue of Al Qaeda’s publication, Inspire, has surfaced on jihad forums inspiring Western terrorists to start forest fires in the U.S.

While Homeland Security has warned of the potential for wildfires to be used as weapons of terror in the past, the latest Inspire issue specifically included directions for building an ember bomb, Wildfire Today reported in May. The Inspire article included step-by-step instructions for building an ember bomb. Moreover, the piece listed California as one of several potential targets, among other wildfire-prone regions.

Whatever passes for authorities just won't admit it. They won't fight the cause of these fires. Instead the government is bringing in Syrian fighters.

By doing nothing to stop jihad, these fires are the govenment's fault. There is no use complaining, it's racist to complain.

Maybe it's God's way of punishing a liberal shit hole that passes a law in which filthy transvestites or other freaks of nature can share a bathroom with normal kids while completely scarring them for life. I hope the entire park burns to the ground if I was certain that is true.

That said, I don't condone terrorist arson. Shit happens, but despite my disgust for California, any deliberate attempt to burn something down short of divine intervention or nature, should be met with a firing squad.

That is highly likely. The U.S. Forest service can't take a piss without it running down their legs sometimes.

Yosemite Nat'l. Park threatened...

Firefighters Continue to Battle California Wildfire
September 01, 2013 > More than 5,000 firefighters are battling a massive wildfire in the western U.S. state of California that is expanding into areas of a famous national park.

The U.S. Forest Service says the so-called Rim Fire has engulfed more than 90,000 hectares since it started two weeks ago on the edge of Yosemite National Park. It has destroyed more than 100 homes, businesses and other structures, with about 4,500 other structures still threatened.

Firefighters say they have contained 40 percent of the massive blaze. They now estimate it will take until October 20 to fully contain the Rim Fire, a full month longer than expectations voiced just two days ago.

The wildfire is still some distance from Yosemite National Park's major attractions, including granite rock formations and waterfalls. It is the largest fire in the United States this year and the fifth largest California wildfire on record. Mandatory evacuations are in place in at least two areas.

Authorities have been using an unmanned military Predator drone, similar to those used in Afghanistan, to provide information on new fires they would otherwise not be able to see. The cause of the fire that broke out August 17 is under investigation. It is one of dozens of large wildfires burning in the western United States, which has been plagued by a lack of snow and rainfall this year.

Sierra wildfire now California's fourth-largest
2 Sept.`13 — The wildfire burning in and around Yosemite National Park has become the fourth-largest conflagration in modern California history, fire officials said Sunday as clouds and higher humidity helped crews further contain the biggest blaze in the United States this year.

The 2-week-old Rim Fire moved up a spot on the state's list of large wildfires dating back to 1932 when it grew to 351 square miles — an area larger than the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose combined, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant said. Although the fire still is growing, it was 45 percent contained as of Sunday. Moister air slowed flames from advancing through brush and trees, giving firefighters room to set backfires, dig containment lines and to strengthen lines around threatened communities, fire spokesman Trevor Augustino.

He said it also helped that more than 4600 firefighters were brought in to battle the flames. "We're going in the right direction," Augustino said. Full containment is not expected until Sept. 20. The blaze started Aug. 17 in the Stanislaus National Forest and two-thirds of the land burned since then is located there as well. In Yosemite, 94 square miles have burned. The cause remains under investigation. Meanwhile, the dense smoke that obscured Yosemite's majestic views for the first time on Saturday and prompted air quality warnings was starting to ease, park spokeswoman Kari Cobb said.

Although park officials advised visitors to avoid heavy exertion, Cobb said she has seen people outside running "and enjoying Yosemite, despite the smoke." "The park was actually busier than I thought it would be," she said. A 427-square-mile fire in San Diego County that killed 14 people and destroyed more than 2,800 structures a decade ago tops the list of California's largest wildfires. The Rim Fire has claimed 111 structures, 11 of them homes.

Quite a stretch turning a California forest fire into a racist whine about President Obama.

Dumb ass. The US Forest Service is constantly underfunded, and overworked. The forests of New Mexico, Arizona, and California have been in drought conditions now for a decade. Under those conditions there is no way that you can control a fire.

fires happen.

its part of nature.

we shouldn't put them out.

we should instead, start them intentionally and burn the understory before it gets too thick.

Couldn't happen to a better place.

California is an important sister state to all her neighbors. A lot of good people live, work, and produce great goods and products for America. They don't deserve any more singling out and punishment. They're a border state who've paid and paid and paid the price for educating, feeding, housing, and accepting foreigners to their shores and across their borders.

I lived there 5 years. It's was a land of great beauty, opportunity, and an astonishing center for all the arts.

May God himself protect our redwood forest and the stands of sequoias from abusers of other cultures.

It is very easy with today's technology. Unfortunately, the zionist cock suckers are using up all the US resources in chasing Muslim fags in the wastelands of the middle east.
