Makes me pretty upset to think of all the pets and wildlife that have died so far.

As exciting as all of this is, I need to go to bed. To any kiwis staying up, if the sign does happen to go up overnight, someone do me a favor and slap some Billy Joel on any footage of it.
Don’t let your memes stay as dreams.I only wanted to see the Hollywood sign burn. My desires are far more reasonable and I still don't get shit.
the point of government is to wrangle the retards.I don't have any sympathy for CA residents, even the "based" ones. Its the same as not having sympathy for people who die trying to climb K2, or billionaires who die trying to see the titanic in a carbon fiber tube. Even the ones who don't vote for the retards in charge had plenty of time to see the writing on the wall.
In hindsight it is a fucking miracle there hadn't been a fire this bad before. CA was just lucky that fires mainly were contained in the mountains or stopped shortly after reaching civilization. Fires are so common, the residents don't even worry anymore. They take it for granted that the fires stop before causing too much damage.
The people living in AltaDena should have known they were in a danger zone. Azusa 15 minutes to the east was in danger of burning down just a few years ago. The two cities are at the base of the same mountain range. They drew the short stick, but don't have anyone to blame but themselves.
I tell "conservatives" in CA to move out all the time. They don't believe anything bad will happen to them. They don't want to leave their friends and family. They don't want to find a new job. They are too lazy to even look into leaving. I ask them what would happen someone grooms their children and the state take their children away because they don't want to support child gender transition. They don't think it will happen to them. Well they didn't think they'd be in danger of having their house burned down either, but now the evacuation zone creeps closer by the hour and they're freaking out.
Bummer. Time to start another one.View attachment 6836843
hollywood fire is more or less out. funny how that works
was it detroit or oakland that had to use stop signs to replace all the signal lights the junkies stole the wires from? they even stole all the wires from a fancy light up bridge.Scrap metal is a junkies bread and butter when they aren't panhandling, and when you're a cracked out sub70iq you're not thinking things like "this may end up badly". In some places they have similar issues with things like manhole covers.
He's right. They want to put money into being gay and not into preparing for fires. First Lesbian Fire Chief. No money for planning for the same natural disaster CA gets all the time.
The wind seems to be dying down. Atleast in some areas. But sometimes it can get windy for weeks at a time during the winter. So who knows.is this still going? I thought posters were saying it was dying down now. are we still at threat level midnight?
what's the "Hollywood fire" here? Sunset? Sunset is definitely not out, so do you mean some other smaller blaze or Eaton outskirts?hollywood fire
The firefighters will heroically throw themselves on the fire in an effort to smother itSo I’ve heard that firefighters and rigs are coming in from out of state, but is that actually going to do any good? Seems that the problem is a lack of water. I’m not sure what good more hands and trucks will be, unless they finally decide to cut losses and dig a fat fuckin ditch through LA with bulldozers. Is there an angle or a plan I’m not seeing here? Any Kiwis have any insight?
Ya it's called "flashover", basically all ordinary combustible materials have an auto ignition temperature. When ambient heat reaches a certain point basically everything simultaneously goes up. It is mostly observed in enclosed spaces and is a huge consideration for municipal firefighting. It also happens in wildland fires under certain conditions but they often call it eruptive fire.Maybe houses or something flashing into flames, not 100% sure but radiant heat can warm up a surface that isn't in contact with the flames themselves to the point it can catch fire spontaneously, flashing ablaze suddenly. If it's a gas tank or something it could just explode.
Could be anything else, I think we have some people better informed in this thread, but that would be my guess.
How would that be any different though?Best case scenario is that gangs take over the ruins of LA and declare independence from California and the US. It would actually be better run than how it is currently
Hopefully Trump seals the Western Border to prevent them from going anywhere but North.You forget that after this that insurance never pays out and there are so many rules and permits needed for rebuilding that entire neighborhoods are never rebuilt and people just move elsewhere.

If the wind dies down then it will be easier to contain the fire.
