Do more on fire prevention

I also agree. Let’s get back to basics.

Fire isn’t just a danger in the outlying communties in San Diego. This could happen anywhere in SD, just look around you. San Diego is composed mostly of mesas and brush filled canyons and it’s all nice and dry, ready to burn. All it takes is the spark from a bulldozer or a carelessly tossed cigarette and you got a raging brush fire. The Normal Heights fire started in Mission Valley and raged up the brush filled hills and burned a 150 homes in the mid city.

In my former neighborhood ( in City Heights), Allstate refused to insure my neighbor’s home because of the brush and trees next to their property. CalTrans refused to clear the brush and the fire department said it was not a problem and not unsafe.

Many firefighters say this is just the begining. For the last 10 years, the western U.S. has been drier, the winds stronger, and the temperatures higher than the past.

Global warming is begining to work its will and change much of SoCal into a desert again.

Filling up all the dry weedy areas with cement is certainly impossible to do, but at least we should do that to areas that are close to residential areas. Studies need to be done. In some other countries, slopes that are close to the freeways are cemented. Even in LA, most of the open areas are irrigated well. In additional to the cosmetic issue, irrigated vegetation tend not to get burnt so easily. When you look at similar areas in SD, they are covered with brown and long weeds. They look like semi-drought areas in Africa. It catches fires so easily.
