Resources Beat A Path To Big Bear

Following this thread on Wildland Fire you get a sense of the urgency surrounding the Butler II Fire near Fawnskin. Last evening Central Valley crews were amassing at Fresno air attack base, as well strike teams were moving down from Shasta. Prado staging ground in Chino was busy with equipment and firefighters arriving before assignment.

It looks like the revised acreage is under 16,000. Wind pushed the fire away from the resort community of Green Valley Lake and the evacuation order has been lifted for residents there. The incident 209 still shows 600 structures in danger but it looks like Fawnskin is OK for now. This is a tribute to the expert ground and air attack crews that hit the fire hard last evening and through the night.

With Inciweb (based in Idaho) down again and I’m wondering if maybe the Forest Service should hit up Google, Yahoo, Microsoft or Amazon for some upgraded server space. Small trade off might be an ad or two?
It’s a shame this system is not better administered, flick some switches guys.

Here is a satellite image I received by mail –> (Thanks Risk S.) You can see why the residents of Las Vegas were getting choked out by the smoke.

    It must have been aliens from outer space who passed the information to Peter Jennings by thought transference. Ahhh! That makes sense. Does it not?

    Rudy was a guiding light for the nation that day. I can’t imagine what goes through the head of someone like you on a daily basis. I suggest laying off the weed.In any case you need a new hobby.Mike

    Are you aware that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was given a warning that the World Trade Center towers were going to collapse? You can hear him state that someone told him that “the World Trade Center was going to collapse” to Peter Jennings of ABC News < HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hNmf76GUCw" REL="nofollow"> here <>. What makes this statement so controversial is that it is in direct contradiction with the official story’s assertion that no one knew at the time that the towers would collapse. The implication here is that someone or some group had inside knowledge of the impending collapse of the towers. The insider(s) in question need(s) to be investigated as a matter of justice and a matter of clarity on the question of whether jihadists are the sole enemies of the U.S. in regards to terrorism. So please share this with others and press for the truth to be recognized and further pursued for the sake of our security and sanity.
