Pretending to be compassionate by hoping people’s house remains while simultaneously hoping their livelihood gets destroyed still makes you look like an asshole.

Oregon man arrested after starting brush fire with Molotov cocktail accused of setting six more after he was released, police say

Yes, I know nothing to do with this fire, but too many fires. Keep your eyes open, get license plate #’s or what you can if you see something.

These new evaluations are north of 36. Did the fire jump the road or is this new fire? This can only mean very bad chances of huge spread.

It’s still about 2.5 miles away (according to the IR perimeter from about 7:30 this evening) from 36 at it’s closest point. The wind is coming from the southwest at about 2 knots. The plan is to hold it at 36, and hope for some small amount of rain friday or at least an increase in RH, with minimal wind. If the air gets unstable with no moisture, that’s when things could get dicey. The existing 2015 burn scars don’t appear to be slowing things down, either. All these fires are understaffed, (most only have about 20% of normal staffing according to an article posted on Wildfire Today) especially on the Shasta /Trinity side of the fire. Pray for rain.

lol this year they were not messing around with the black market. They couldn’t catch em all so just burn all their crops. These fires are political in so many ways it’s sickening.

It’s not political. There are wildfire arsonists from every spectrum but they are just crazy. Mental illness is not political.

Lightning has been around since…oh yeah forever 😂. Don’t recall their ever being thus many uncontrollable fires for the 31 years I’ve been alive. It’s also crazy we have a military that can dust the world but can’t use that same military to put out fires. Oh yeah and lack of water when California is on the ocean blah blah blah sheeple.

The last time we had a lighting event like the one this year was 2015, THE LAST TIME TRINITY PINES BURNED. We’ve had similarly horrible fires every year since. [edit]

Sheeple is an acceptable invictive, but (correctly) accusing a poster of regurgitating qanon propaganda is unacceptable? What?

Have you looked at an aerial photo of Trinity Pines, the subject of this evacuation story?

Hardly exquisite or beautiful.
Land parcels clearcut and dozed over a wide expanse, even through drainages.
Erosive, ugly, dirty, trashy craptastic properties.
So violent that county won’t go in without cops and cops won’t go in alone.

What once was “exquisitely beautiful land” laid to waste for canna-profiteering Green Rush crap.
Reminds one of the days of hydraulic mining.
Showing that mankind never learns.

Mother Nature’s reckoning is at hand.
Enjoy the show.

Misanthrope. You weren’t kidding. Never been out there and just checked Google maps. It looks as bad as any of GD or Sierra Pacific land holdings.

And the people who are staying behind be thankful that you will be experiencing the fire as it slows down. If conditions were like last week that area with three outs that all feed into 36 over a short distance, essentially giving the area only one out, would be hell for fire fighters if people stayed behind. Thats a death trap under heatwave and high wind conditions and I would doubt FFs would even attempt to do house protection with a crown fire heading their way.

If the RH recovery does’t happen tonight, and conditions change even slightly towards more active fire I’d think about getting out if the route is still open.

If it survives, take a drive through The Pines sometime. Not exactly holistic growing practices to be sure. Other than trespass cartel grows, they’re some of the worst I’ve seen.

They need to post the evacuation orders in Hmong. Their obviously not going to be tricked into leaving if you use English.

You think the price of pot will go up due to fires?

No, but I think the price of fires will go up due to pot. It’s simple math. If the pot industry hadn’t have happened, most of these subdivisions would still be ranches or patches of privately owned forests and FFs wouldn’t have to bring in massive resources for life and structure protection.

Trinity pines subdivision was developed and formed long before anyone was growing weed up there. Weed came quite a ways after.

The Pines, like Rancho Sewuoia, long predate the green rush. They were created by developers with the full cooperation of their respective counties a a new way to exploit usless logged iver land. Blaming the people who have inhabited these cheap properties is mostly a cheap shot. You don’t want poor people in YOUR neighborhood, but when they move to a remote ghetto, you don’t want them there either. Face it, you really just wish the poor to disappear. But you can’t kill them, just continue to hate.
