Rockysan99 – Are you serious? Wow, you are so naive!
Since you know everything about fighting a structure fire, I’d suggest you become the newest firefighter!
They are doing the best to protect the structures but I think there is a point of no return in which they can’t do anything more to help.
My parents are in the De Luz area of Fallbrook and cleared 400 feet of brush around their house! They are considering buying a goat to keep it clear (some of their neighbors have as well). My parents did the responsible thing while other homeowners ignore brush clearance regulations. The firefighters are going to try to save a structure in which the owners have done their part, rather than save the structure with all of the brush around it. Ask any firefighter and they will tell you this is true.
These guys are totally exhausted and stretched thin. They sleep anywhere they can to get some rest.
I’m so thankful that on early Monday morning, the hill behind us in San Marcos was on fire and these wonderful heroes came and put out the fire! My home and those of my neighbors would be gone right now if they weren’t here for us!
Also, There are some who think the firefighters have started these fires themselves. Have you been watching “Backdraft?” Its not like in the movies!!! Sure there have been a few wacko firemen however, 99.9% of these men are honorable wonderful people who are doing everything they can to help us! Shame on you for putting them down!
Its most likely a wack job arsonist or someone smoking and dumping the cigarette out of the car.
As we ran outside to see the fire on Monday morning, my neighbor ran out smoking a cigarette! Then she looked at me and said,” I really shouldn’t have this out here!” Duh!!!!
Maybe we need to outlaw smoking — seems like it causes too many fires.
