Little Sympathy for California Fire Victims

if you doubt that would happen why did you say that which you doubt can maybe be prevented?...

Because no TESTS have been done to determine whether or not it WOULD happen.

Look, you have a wall of water, and someone says, "A leaf blower would blow the water away and burn the wall!" In reality, the winds to not approach walls through narrow plastic tubes. So a force of wind against the wall will apply pressure EQUALLY over the entire surface of the wall. Therefore any water that a bit of wind is trying to blow in one direction is being countered by a bit of wind trying to blow it in the opposite direction. Wind does not hit a wall like the air flow from a blower nozzle from a compressor. So that argument is INVALID.
the way you described this water would be rolling down the roof soaking the house right?...the SA winds would blow that water right off the roofs.....so how would that be prevented?..
 
when the Santa Ana winds are doing 50 MPH or better it just may blow that water off the house....

Run a faucet of water. Use your hand to slap the stream out of the way. What happens? The stream continues the MOMENT the side force of your hand is no longer an issue. If a gust of wind blew the water sideways, it would only be a momentary interruption in the constant flow of water. That is not enough time for a cold wall to ignite.

How are you keeping the water cold? That's a new part of the plan.

Liberals can shove their cradle to grave BS straight up their semen soaked ...
And you think we are full of hate, bless your precious heart.
 
I'm sorry, but if I was ever going to build a ($x??) million dollar home in the hills of California, I THINK I would spend another ten or twenty thousand or so on preventative measures against brush fires.

These fires are an annual event, and not at all surprising. What IS surprising, is how little the homeowners have done to prevent their homes from burning to the ground.

I see these lots along the sculpted streets of SoCal, and all of the homes are burned to the ground. In the back yards of these homes are reflection pools, HUGE swimming pools full of water, that reain after the fires burn out. They build the expensive homes, and the beautiful reflection pools, but they NEVER think ahead, to plumb in a sprinkler system that can DRENCH the home with pool water at the moment the fire wall approaches and burns past the house.

It boggles my mind, to think that any architect would design a home with a 50,000 gallon pool in the yard, and NOT have some way to use that water to fight a fire. We are only talking about a $500.00 Honda gas powered water pump and some steel piping, after all.

Does this make ANY sense?

The state doesn't allow them to properly maintain their properties.
They get a fine if they water their yards.
In modern times, a lot of us forego a yard. We use water conserving landscaping. Yards are a complete waste of water.

apparently you have never experienced the SA winds....when they blow they blow they dont come in 60 mile an hour gusts and then slow down to 15 mph....they blow steady for maybe hours....especially in the canyon areas....
 
That's why I don't vote for people like you. You want to control every single aspect of every single person's life for the entirety of their lives.

No thank you!

Nope. That is a characteristic that is exclusive to those on the LEFT. "Cradle to Grave." etc.

I don't want to control anything. I would just head off the conditions that create the cesspools of Socialism that litter our great country like (insert ANY city run by Democrats HERE)

Cradle to grave preventative medicine is a practice which will save money in a number of ways.
  • Early diagnosis of
    • Cancers
    • Heart Disease
    • Diabetes
    • Asthma
    • Autoimmune diseases
    • High blood pressure
    • HIV & STD's
    • Epilepsy
    • mental
  • Vaccinations (age appropriate)
  • Physical Examinations (age appropriate)
  • Dental diseases
Providing health care education, especially at appropriate ages on diseases, both bacterial and viral transmission from persons to persons.

Cradle to grave preventative medicine should not be forced on anyone, however, those who don't want to go to clinic or private doctor for no or very little cost are fools.
there are a lot of fools in the country Wry...some people have great ins but dont use it until it may be to late or they just dont follow the docs advice...

Local fire districts will maintain the property of jerks like you who won't create a barrier for their property. They will give the property owner bill for the cost, that's no a fine, which makes you what everyone knows, a liar.

Wasting water is assessed by the water company, the more used, the higher the cost. Also, not a fine.

Local water companies provide funds for homeowners to remove lawns and plant drought Resistance and native plants along with a drip system..

Kentucky C. is one of the fools.

Californians don't have much of a yard anyway.

The fire just jumps from house to house.

READ the thread. I lived in SoCal for 40 years. I know all about the Santa Ana winds.
 
the way you described this water would be rolling down the roof soaking the house right?...the SA winds would blow that water right off the roofs.....so how would that be prevented?..

The roof surface would be DESIGNED to prevent the displacement of a water barrier by wind.

look i get what you are trying to say,but with the prices of California homes today,how many people do you think can do this shit to their houses?........

ONLY the homes in the high fire risk areas like Mullholland Drive, Paradise, Canyon Country, etc. would even NEED this. This is not a system that would be installed on every home in CommieFornia. The homes in the hills are NOT CHEAP. I think someone who has a 3 million dollar home in the hills could manage a $25,000.00 fire prevention system without any trouble. They certainly have no trouble buying BMWs, Hummers, and other expensive luxuries. The savings on their fire insurance premiums would probably cover the costs over 10 years or so. They get money for installing solar panels. WHY don't they get money to install fire prevention measures?
