@Meryl.140.15 yeah I'm good thank you. The closest fires are an hour away from Sacramento but then again Cal fire has put out an announcement urging all California citizens to be ready to leave in a moments notice with a bag packed and their car facing out of the driveway. I mean considering there are apparently over 300 fires here and many are uncontained I suppose it makes sense.

Most of them started last week? It's just now getting really smoky. I've heard there's evidence that BLM started at least one of the fires.

oh geez

wouldn't be surprised if they started more than 1

From what I understand, the majority of the really bad forest fires are arson

<:Surprised_pikachu:726878373762301995>

Yeah apparently they have solid proof on one of the fires.

Pretty much all the fires in California are arson or accidents

Yeah

Its incredibly rare that they're natural

I've heard some possibly started by the lightning storms a few days ago

funnily enough, fire is the answer

controlled burns to destroy the brush

and you wont have wildfires

True

but "OH MUH LITTLE FIELD MICE HIDING IN THE FOREST"

😅

pyromania is the answer to wildfires

spread the word

Fight fire with fire

<:thinking:726878987837636698>

I dont even live next to the fires

Now I want to watch backdraft

So much smoke in the sky rn

Yeah what area you in? @phil55

Central Valley, but im still atleast a 100 miles away from any fire

Ah

I'm in Sacramento myself

It must be brutal over there

Is there ash falling where you are?

No, not yet

Ah.

ah yeah, Trump was talking about "sweeping the forest" to keep the forest clean so that fires didn't happen as often and severely and media just went on a rampage talking about how Trump wants to "sweep the entire forest" with like a broom or something

I remember a couple years ago there was a bit

Yeah the cars have ash all over them in the mornings

Every once and a while it'll snow ash

Great for the lungs isn't it

Of course

Only the best 😉

@Meryl.140.15 sounds about right lol
