So I read not only K6XX's report, but the entire issue of the Jug.

complete destruction of Bob's place. Bob, I don't know if you're a believer,
but I for one am praying for strength for you, my friend.

I know I was asked by FEMA to head west to help as a COM-T. Unfortunately I am
now disabled from a very rare infection that resulted in severe cardiac and
pulmonary issues or I would have gone.
There are firefighters fron here in NJ and nearby states that have gone out and
some are there now.
The simplest answer is when an area has numerous fires consuming homes, acres
and a few lives in excess of the ‘norm’; there will never be enough resources
available in a timely manner.
Every fire, regardless of which agency is responsible (Fed, state, local) is
noted and prioritized And addre
Would love to send some of our rain your way. Already 87.5” at my house near
Atlanta this year. We’ve been close to 80” a couple of times before. Expecting
to bust 90” easily.

I think you have a skewed view of the situation, probably understandably
so given your own vulnerability to that fire. I can find tons of media
information specifically on the Bobcat Fire with almost daily datelines
when I do a Google search, and I know from personal experience with

Years of mismanagement contribute to the fires. Forest Service and states
have not culled dead trees, allow logging, and not done controlled burns to
reduce the fuel. Building homes in canyons with Santa Ana winds also does
not help. Until there is a serious change in how forests are managed, this
The Creek Fire was burning through forests that were 80-90% bark beetle kill
in mountain wilderness. It is simply not possible to “thin” that. From 2014 to
2018,
the number of dead trees in California increased from 11 million to 147 million.
Anyone who thinks there is a simple solution needs to

Agreed. I "fired up" my KX2 for a couple of 40M CW QSOs tonight. Does

My heart goes out to Alan and Bob for their losses. Thankfully, they got out
OK.
Walter points to a scientific fact (so many dead trees) that explains the
huge fuel source available to burn. That is not a "normal" situation. We
face similar challenges in NM where we have experienced drought and
