[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 237442, member: 1305"] One of the biggest problems they have out there especially in that particular area is there forested hills are not actually true Forest but instead a bush called Chaparral which is more or less gasoline on a stick. So you have hillsides that grow to full size in just a few years with brush and grass that is EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE then put that together with some Santa Ana winds and people who allowed too much brush and too much Timber too close to their homes and you got yourself a bad recipe! Even worse these people have a nasty tendency in that particular City to use Boxwoods as hedges for privacy yet boxwoods are an Evergreen and are highly flammable themselves and they tend to put these damn things right up against their house which is always a genius move in fire country. Seeing countless examples today of people that cut fire breaks 70 yards from their homes but then the last 30 yards they fill up with brush and bushes somehow forgetting that the embers we'll cross that gap quite easily.
