ParticipantRockysan99 – 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.

ParticipantLOL. Why are there no fires outside of SD county on the fire map? See any fires in Temecula(AKA Riverside County). I don’t, and it’s even more dry and brushy up there. Hi! Deluz is close, but that’s just a lil’ peice.

ParticipantI was thinking the same thing so I checked the Riverside County Fire Department web site (www.rvcfire.org). There are no evacuations in Riverside County. The closest fires to Riverside county are the Rice Canyon and the Poomacha fires.

GuestIt is very curious that all of these fires seemingly started on their own at the same time in locations too far apart for one ot have been caused by the other. For example, how exactly did the Coronado Hills fire suddenly start the same day as all the others? Are we talking about spontaneous combustion because of ‘perfect’ fire conditions? We’re talking about 5+ fires all igniting around the same period of time.

October 24, 2007 at 1:34 PM #91434ParticipantThe fires are hugging the county lines.. coincidence? Maybe our FD should take lessons from Riverside?? Jest.. proud of our FD and know they’re working hard, I think it’s probably more of a land management issue.
