So any guesses how long this is all going to last? End of February? End of March? Are we looking at a six month time frame? How long will it take the wealthiest, and most socially progressive state to put out a few fires?

There's no real way to stop it inside California at this point. At best, they can contain it until the fires exhaust all available fuel.

They don't have any water to deal with the fire itself, they turned down help from the likes of the NYFD (because the NYFD's help would have meant oversight from NY officials, which would have gotten the retards running California in even worse trouble), they won't do preventive maintenance during the fire (like creating firebreaks or removing those fucking eucalyptus trees) because of the environmental movement (whose bullshit is effectively the backdrop to the situation that directly caused this fire), and city officials are more concerned with covering their own ass or opposing the orange man who is president once more than actually addressing the problem.

California could get outside help. They won't, unless that help comes from sources they greenlight and who won't ask questions. The Fed will demand investigations for the circumstances that led to this shit, as will any other state that provides outside aid (as NY did). Either would expose that this goes past criminal negligence and straight into the fire being caused maliciously by refusal to do basic maintenance on their forests, refusing to remove invasive species (the Eucalyptus trees, which are fucking explosive), and allowing environmental groups to effectively curtail every single thing that would have mitigated this fire, almost certainly leaving these groups on the hook for financial penalties if not outright criminal charges.

And California's entrenched dem government would sooner see everyone die than allow one of their pet environmental groups/protection rackets to get prosecuted.

While all this is going on, California's hobo and illegal migrant population are continuing to maliciously set additional fires, knowing there's no way for the state to deal with them. As we saw from Xi Jinpeng's visit to California, California is completely able to ignore the bureaucratic red tape involved with said hobo population when it fucking wants to, its government just doesn't most of the time, because dealing with drug-addled hobos and shit on the streets is a problem for you proles and not your betters.

This isn't slowing down until April. Minimum.

I wonder if they are prepared though. Its my understanding they treat fire fighters and cops like shit, and I imagine some first responders could burn out before the fire does if it goes that long. Even more so if they lost their own homes, and then what, entire fire department is DEI and criminal firefighters?

I feel like LA is just maybe a gross dozen "fuck it I quit"s from everything reaching critical mass.

As a snowdweller I like how there's no equivalency between blizzards and wildifres. The worst I can do is say "haha, I don't feel like going out today, so there's no need to shovel my driveway or sidewalk." Californians not doing their due diligence or disaster prepping: $500+ billion lost

You do have to winterize things to avoid infrastructure failures. The state often takes care of trimming trees that would otherwise down power lines, as well as regular maintenance on pipes and other things effected by cold weather. In addition to avalanche mitigation, icing and plowing roads, and ensuring that power isn't lost during inclement weather.

It's catastrophic in different ways if neglected.

Eucalyptus trees are the gypsies of the tree world. They basically pop up overnight, multiply like rabbits given gas station boner pills, and will only get worse if you try to make them leave. It is ridiculous.

That one guy who set himself on fire in protest was ahead of his time.

Concerning the emerging situation in San Diego, this is almost exactly like the situation I discussed here, even down to the location.
There were four major wildfires in San Diego during October/November 2003. The Cedar Fire was the largest, sitting squarely in the middle of the county, consuming close to 300,000 acres (as of the time of writing, the L.A. fires are at ~50,000 acres), but a smaller fire happened near the Otay Lakes area, almost exactly where the ongoing fire is.

For some additional context, the friends of my parents who lost their home lived in Barona (right smack in the middle of the Cedar Fire) and I had good friends ho lived in Poway who had to evacuate.
The attached PDF is an interesting read.

Angry brown people are starting brand new ones. It’s not like they built and filled new reservoirs in the last couple weeks

I would ask why but since it's California, I am going to use my defacto reasoning of "because they're retarded". The mayor still hasn't done anything since coming back from Wakanada? The dyke fire chief didn't take the time to help the department?

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!
