That's what I'd like to know- if ya get on calfire incident maps or reports these fires are technically (or were the last I saw) still under investigation.

RageAgainstTheAmish ago

The northern cali fires were caused by high winds dropping tree branches onto power lines due to the extremely long history of PG&E failing to conduct basic maintenance of tree trimming. The resulting blue explosions from transformers shorting out and exploding is the "lightning".

Power transformers are full of oil used as a coolant. When these things explode (which is very common) they leak out burning oil which is quite hard to extinguish.

Also, downed trees blocking main excess roads to these fires hampered response times of firefighters.

It all played out live over the publicly broadcasted scanner radios, and if you research the broadcastify.com archives and begin listening 5 minutes before the fire start time(all information available archived on calfire website), you will hear the shit the firefighters went though.

Also these fires aren't happening in NorCal...

Holy shit are you retarded or ignorant we just lost nearly 200 thousand acres between mendocino, lake, sonoma, and napa counties during one wind store that caused fires and the fires were put out only 2 months ago.

In particular the sonoma-lake-napa unit fire? The causes? Still under investigation. The fuck are you getting "tree branches" from? CNN? Oh and that's central valley, call it what it is.

Did you even read my comment?

Go to the broadcastify archives, look mendocino county archives for October 9, 2017. Begin listening around 22:30:00 [10:30 pm]. You will hear exactly what i heard at home on my police scanner that very night:

(for reference, Potter Valley and Redwood valley are separated by a ridgeline called Laughlin Ridge which travels north-south)

Reach 18 flying from Willits to their base in Lakeport flys over north western potter valley over Laughlin ridge southbound. They are the first to report "explosions with blue fireballs" in potter valley. They straight up say "looks like a transformer explosion". Potter valley fire is dispatced. While en route, the chief of PVF has his access blocked by multipule trees over the road, forcing him and his engines to reroute through peoples properties. Due to the extreme winds, the fire spreads from a blackberry bush to the surrounding vegetation and is quickly blown up Laughlin ridge. He requests a zone 2 first alarm about 15 minutes into the incident, which is one engine from every station in the county. While en route, the chief of Redwood Valley Fire (which is a town on the west side of Laughlin Ridge) witnesses a tree fall onto a high tension power line at the intersection of West Road and Tomki, (north west of the current fire) causing another transformer to explode, starting a second fire which was extremely close to homes. The 60mph constant wind we experienced that right pushed the new fire directory into the town of Redwood Valley. Unable to respond to PV, the RV chief requests his own first alarm due to immediate life threat. At about this time PVF chief finally makes access to the fire which has already began consuming structures. The community is so close knit, they begin naming off family names to reference homes, barns, and outbuildings which are total losses.

About an hour into the incident, the fires merge and begin to blow west, jumping hwy 101 and into the Ridgewood subdivision at about 02:30.

At this point i left my jome and drove to my friends house in redwood valley to help them evacuate their animals.

During the first bout of this incident, PG&E cut power to both Redwood Valley and Potter Valley, hampering the attractiveness of the reverse 911 system.

There were many factors that contributed to this, all you have to do is find the audio. All of this audio is available through www.radioreference.com

Idk we just had pge come out recently and trimmed our trees. I see them all over in NorCal. California takes fire risk very seriously and always have. Now all of the sudden we got tree branches hitting powerlines? If that were the case the "wildfires" wouldn't still be under investigation.

RageAgainstTheAmish ago

Tree branches fall on unmaintained lines daily in northern cali.

Nuns Fire - causes under investigation. Redwood Complex Fire, causes under investigation... This shit is super easy to find.

Look around yourself and if you find one that says "tree branches hitting power lines" then you know what, I am the biggest fucking faggot right now - if not... Well, sorry you live in the shittier side of California. Assuming you're actually a Californian.

Read my other comment and dont be such a cockhat people died because of pg&es ignorance and they will bill us fog it again.

11419625? ago

Fine, sure maybe one of the fires was started by the random branch but every single one? Also am annoyed that after visiting CalFires site they all pretty much say "under investigation" so honestly who fuckin cares its you dumb faggots in SoCal suffering but if I were a gambler I'd bet my money it was all arson.

RageAgainstTheAmish ago

They're still under investigation because PG&E has a lengthy history of blocking investigators from doing their job

Source or anything?

RageAgainstTheAmish ago

Holy shit are you asking me to pay for membership to radioreference and illegally stream the feed for you? Go fuck yourself!

Youre the same person replying to ALL of my comments.

I see through your ruse to attempt to entrap me into doing illegal shit. You're clearly a pge/fbi/cia/shareblue shill.

Dont ever reply to me or my posts ever again. I bid you good day sir.

11423610? ago

No. I can't help I commented asking for sources when ya already did. Good job you did well rebutting but most of the shit you linked was irrelevant to our discussion regarding the recent wild fires (san bruno, has nothing to do with topic). Also the articles talks about one lawyer who claims only one fire was started via branches hitting powerlines. ONE FIRE. What about the others? They all started the same, eh? I'll admit it looks like one of the fires started the way you so desperately want (bet you work for the lawyer since now you like throwing out wild accusations around like some limp dick piece of shit).

Entrapment? Wow? You are a special kind of retard... I now bet you are that faggot lawyer who thinks he can bring down PGE. Hope you do better in court than with me...

RageAgainstTheAmish ago

It's pretty disheartening to see that there are so many corporate shills on this website now, who are paid to discredit and disillusion people when someone comes forth with legitimate information and facts.

I hope you lose grip on the overhead bar next time you hang yourself in your closet dressed up as Batman trying to jack off with your auto-erotic asphyxiation fetish you degenerate faggot.

I could say the exact same about you, pal.
