Not much you can do with 20 MPH winds fanning and spreading the flames, 12,000 people or 5 people.
Absolutely. It can get ugly quick.
Look at this old video:


This is why i'm too afraid to ride in grass. Lack of spark arrestors aren't the problem. Its having gas spill out the carb and hitting hot shit.
Back in 07 or 08 there was a nasty fire in yorba linda by some guy edging or using a weed wacker or something. One of socal's worst fires in years.

Just insane, it's really really dry down there in comparison to any place I've been aside from Nevada I suppose. :mindblown:

Today we recorded the worst air quality since the agency started measuring air quality in 1955 :(

I feel for the 1000s of fire fighters :( they are out there risking everything.

Let's start with the people that consume the most in the world the most conspicuously. Sorry California.

I actually agree with you there. Worse than heat for the world, by far, is air conditioning. We shouldn't, as humans, live where it is required.
What's the point in living without climate control?

I'm not saying to change your behavior. I accept my impact.

You'll have to go north of me, we sweat our tits off in the summer almost every house/car runs A/C between June and September.
