Maui fire. What is going on?

Is there anything you won't blame Democrats for?

In everything they do they suck pretty bad. Surly, you don't think or believe they care a thing about you & your little miserable life? I can't understand why anyone would get behind & support any Democrats. They are the spawn of Satan in this world.

Wait. You don't think any GOP person or Trump gives a flying F about you do you?

Nope.

Was it a Democrat or just a flake (based on what we've read)? I'm curious as to whether that job is political.

"The spawn of Satan"

Lmfao.

It's surprising that he's going. There aren't many electoral votes there.

It’ll make a great photo op for the Climate Crusade.

I have no woodland fire fighting experience but that could be a case of setting a backfire?

That’s probably an attempt at a controlled burn? Of some sort? Maybe in real time to stop a fire in progress, or preventative. Idk.

It’s what the green energy junkies in California & Washington and other west coast states SHOULD be doing - but they aren’t.

I thought the same too.

It looks like they’re trying to consume the forest (fuel) before the wildfire can spread more. Is that a “backfire”?

I think that's the term but not sure.

I think that is the correct term. My Dad spent almost every August when I was young in the Pacific NW fighting fires. Back in the 60s it was not climate change then.

@Sgt_Nick_Fury and WTO are vying for the top spot in the "who can post the dumbest tweet" award, and they're both winning.

Not sure why you care so much if what or why we post tweets?
I don't see why it upsets you so if we post tweets. It provides good conversation topics.
I don't follow you around & bash you on what you post & how stupid you look in doing so.

Yes, the good doctor should stick to something he has a clue about.

Sometimes they do start either back burns or controlled burns from helicopters. This (normally) is done if the terrain isn't easy to get a crew into for the start or it's too hazardous. Or they just don't have the personnel to do it if they are dedicated elsewhere.

Chances are, this is stock footage from one of those.

Fun fact. Sometimes they use a device that looks like a ping pong ball launcher to start those. The liquid is inside and breaks on contract with the ground. There is a small igniter that catches the fuel on fire. Our fire guys here tell me it's a real fun day when one accidentally lights in the tube.

It doesn't upset me at all, in fact I think it's pretty funny that you rarely post an original thought and instead rely on other people to provide "good conversation topics."

I don't really care about typing all my "original" thoughts out to be read just for you to be happy about it. You post how you like & I'll do it the way I like. It's a free message board.

My father and uncle fought them in upper East Tennessee in the 50s and early 60s. I've heard some crazy stories about it

 

[kiddiedoc]

One of my patient dads is a Lineman who travels for disaster work, and he is heading to Maui tomorrow, I believe. I'm looking forward to getting some inside info.

"There’s no excuses ever to be made, but there are finite resources sometimes in the moment," Green said.

But let me just go ahead and make excuses anyway about why it was sooo bad. It was totally climate change’s fault.

"For perspective, we’ve had six fire emergencies this August. We had six fire emergencies between 1953 and 2003.

Curious. Was Hawaii managing its forests and power line infrastructure between 1953 and 2003? I bet they were….

The Wall Street Journal reported that the company invested less than $250,000 on wildfire projects before finally requesting state permission to raise rates in 2022.

Here we go

Hawaiian Electric was aware since 2019 that more effort needed to be made to prevent power lines from emitting sparks that could cause wildfires

Instead, the company was focused on state-mandated efforts to switch to renewable energy.

Now wait... how do we know this isn't a controlled burn/fire line?
