Caldor Fire Evening Friday Evening Update. 75,845 Acres, 15,000 Structures Threatened, 1,558 Total Personnel
Grizzly Flats, CA...There was an increase in fire activity due to wind shifts in a southerly direction. The main fire spread was in a northeasterly direction towards Highway 50. Fire-damaged timber continues to cause rollout and ember cast that is aiding spotting distances up to a half-mile long in all areas. Due to very dry receptive fuel beds, the vegetation is igniting easily throughout the fire area.
With historic drought conditions there is heavy dead and down fuels through the fire area. Northern California remains under Fuels and Fire Behavior advisory. Due to ongoing damage assessment of the area the numbers of destroyed and damaged structures are subject to change.
To better provide public and firefighter safety due to extreme fire conditions throughout Northern California, and strained firefighter resources throughout the Country, the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region is announcing a temporary closure of nine National Forests. This closure will be effective on August 22, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. through September 6, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. The closure order can be found at https://go.usa.gov/xF7EM

Will Trump show up on Rake Day this year?
Mario Brothers must have the market on work visas from Mexico. They must get paid by the sapling, and/or branch. Also noted that there aren't any pink skinned workers. The white guys are all collecting unemployment checks. Or sitting in jail cells.

Channel 3 Sacramento reporter was at the fire and was showing forest that had been thinned and "raked" (their words) where the fire went through. It was not all giant blackened poles left.
You are just an imbecile that can only parrot old jokes. Unfortunately imbeciles like you keep us from moving forward and attending to the important issues.

So prescribed burning and some machines don't make more sense to you? Hundreds of millions of acres will require alot of Mexican work visas. Or did you have Afghans in mind?

Well something should be done, besides doing more then our governor did. Like lying about 90,000 acres he had raked and cleaned up and it turned out to be 11,000 acres. Or like our governor did since he doesn't like country people because most don't vote for democrats (I guess country folks can see an *bleep* because we don't kiss ass like city slickers) like you? He cut ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS from CalFire's budget. Makes a lot of sense doesn't it transplant?
We already broke last year's record amount of wildfire acres burnt, and the disgraced, lying, corrupt, adulterer hypocrite you voted for, cuts the budget of Cal Fire? That should be enough for a recall right there but we have plenty more then that.
By the way I heard people were saying what a great job Biden was doing. Those compliments we're by the People's Republic of China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Taliban, ISIS, Pelosi, Adam Schiff, AOC....

What are you a racist? Oh that's right, you're a democrat, your cult points their fingers at everyone else and call them racist, I forgot.
Well I hired Alley tree company for $5200 worth of tree work and my crew were " pink skin" guys if that makes you happy?
Or you can call a local one (for me anyway) A1 Tree, owners name is Ron, he's a really nice guy. Or another local up past Forest Meadows, Proper Pruning, the owner Chris and his wife Joeleen, not sure of the spelling they're "pink skin" people too. Not sure why you're so fixed on nationality or skin color? But you're obviously a racist, a bigot, and the usual democrat hypocrite. Those folks doing that work put life and limb on the line, some of the most hazardous jobs, you don't have to act like the typical democra..... self-righteous Dick-head do you?
I don't care of their skin color, as long as they're doing their job and have job pride, try it some time.

Tom McClintock cut the funding for cal fire in his congressional district. That wasn't gavin you fools! I don't know why you parrot off of other morons. Get your facts straight. And hey, california is the state you live in. Progressives rule you out, literally. Take your garbage misinformation to Tennessee. Minorities always lose and here your but a dying breed. Like your big baby sore loser Trump. Go cry a river elsewhere it's getting so old and pathetic. Leave it or love it. 💋

Nope. It was called an observation.
Whenever I need tree work done, I call A-1. Yes, I know their owner and workers.
I also know the other tree trimmers personally as well.
I'm also pink skinned.
My observation was about Mario Brothers. A much larger operation than our local companies.
Mario Brothers has mainly Mexican workers. I'm assuming on work visas. Don't know for sure. My comment was on how the company gets compensation. By the sapling, branch or tree.
What my observation was, that Mario Brothers seems to take advantage of compensation that is doled out for mass fire reduction by hiring foreign workers rather than locals.

Interesting, I was with a Mario supervisor when he was taking face shots of his crew and sending them to their main office. He said that they were creating ID documents for DL’s and overall document’s because the crew had nothing regarding ID. So you can make up your mind based on that.
