With some common sense defensive measures any home can easily be protected from the natural disasters prone to the area that they live in.

In the case of wild fire areas. No flammable materials within 20+ feet of the home (meaning no trees overhang the roof and shrubs kept in check), flame retardant exterior materials (meaning brick, block, adobe or metal), simple things but effective.

I know that with this being California my opening statement negates any possibility of them following the advice. With this in mind New Orleans wouldn't have even been there below sea level when Katrina came in.

We know a vet down there, and she said that they had about 45 mins warning from the start, to get their horses and animals out. She says "no way all those fires were from lighting". I need to see if there is a record somewhere of lighting strikes in that area on that date.

Exactly!

Well, there may be akernal of truth in that, you have to ask, what climate? The micro climate, the mountain climate, there are zones and each changes differently, all the time over long term, that is why the Kali Commies are dragging their lazy butts up to Oregon, as the wine growing climate s moving north. Bringing their lame ass Democrats with them too...

Indeed, the real purpose is to serve the special interests that create it, like a pet. To do that they invent things like Obama care and then force everyone else to provide it. If I work for my healthcare you do to, just the way it is. A national preventative plan may be doable, as it might save costs in the long term but no one wants to go that way, they want the whole thing...free..for them.

Well, it does NOT help when you constantly put out the SMALL forest fires.
Which, produces a ton of carbon, and which becomes plant food for new growth, but can stay stagnant during droughts, and come back to life when the rain comes again.

Nope. Don't let ANY of them burn. All trees now fight for less water, become dryer. And then when the fire hits. Nature does its thing. It kills off the weak.

But we can't TEACH that. The SIMPLE thought that WEAK should somehow die... OMG where is the Social Justice in that? Now. The strong must be killed, to make room for the week!

Literally, everything they touch.

PS: If Illegals were good for an economy, CA would be cutting taxes because they would have too much money!

The real purpose of government is the care and feeding of itself and its minions. Whatever happens with the citizens is just secondary. Think about it- how the congress people get rich over the years, while they vote for obamacare for us at the same time they enjoy their free excellent healthcare.

My neighbor is here from Oji Ca. for the entire summer rebuilding one of his homes. He says all these fires are a direct result of global climate change while he drinks his kool aide in massive doses. We are 180 degrees different and fortunately over 3,000 miles apart most of the time.

Since when has the climate not been changing?
How about focusing on forest management at the urban-forest interface?

Actually, obliterating human development outside of big cities is exactly what the ecowackos want. And while nature is at it, the more humans die in the process, the better, since there are entirely too many of us (except for the ecowackos, of course). Maybe someone "helped" nature along?

It's not nice to ignore mother nature and to not prepare for her cyclical return.

So here we go, instead of giving up, and crying "Climate Change is here to kill us", these people got smart, and did what was needed to protect themselves. Result: They didn't burn. Now if Kalifornia can just do a state program (they love them) to educate the other 20 million or so, they will be fine....

Exactly, AJ. Studies in Oregon showed that the HUGE fire down south were a direct result of previous fire damage NOT being removed due to "natural forest" practices for the last 10 years. A lot of what burned was old dead wood they had left behind. Idiots on parade....

Exactly, and there are hundreds more stories the same. If you do not take active action to minimize the danger, you will pay in the end, and Kalifornia is paying. But the manipulators will just blather and feed the lemmings more stupidity and turn it into a farce and blame the people who did not "give enough", watch.

Look right off the bat the internal combustion engine caused Global warming . See : The First Production Automobiles (1893 – 1894). https://www.google.com/search?q=autom...
The Great Hinkley Fire . 1894 Coincidence just ask Al Gore.
Because of the dryness of the summer, fires were common in the woods, along railroad tracks and in logging camps where loggers would set fire to their slash to clean up the area before moving on. Some loggers, of course left their debris behind, giving any fire more fuel on which to grow. Saturday, September 1st, 1894 began as another oppressively hot day with fires surrounding the towns and two major fires that were burning about five miles (8 km) to the south. To add to the problem, the temperature inversion that day added to the heat, smoke and gases being held down by the huge layer of cool air above. The two fires managed to join together to make one large fire with flames that licked through the inversion finding the cool air above. That air came rushing down into the fires to create a vortex or tornado of flames which then began to move quickly and grew larger and larger turning into a fierce firestorm. The fire first destroyed the towns of Mission Creek and Brook Park before coming into the town of Hinckley. When it was over the Firestorm had completely destroyed six towns, and over 400 square miles (1,000 km2) lay black and smoldering. The firestorm was so devastating that it lasted only four hours but destroyed everything in its path.
The official death count was 418; the actual number of fatalities was likely higher.

I'd wager than eco-wacko's and their legislative muscle has more to do with these fires than climate change. By allowing the trees and underbrush to grow without being culled, when combined with drought, it was and is only a matter of time before a catastrophic fire happens.

Not just tree growth but brush, and clearing in Kalifornia is apparently forbidden, or unable to find people to do such work. So, the brush dries in the summer and "boof". Problem is, they had 14 fires start in like 24 hours....hmmmmm..

Yes.
Big fires in California caused by 'climate change'.
The big fires are from big fuel buildup.
The fuel is from heavy rainfall in recent years causing increased tree growth.

'Forest fires are down 80%, but climate fraudsters want to push their scam, so
they announce that humans didn’t know how to count before 1960.'
“Modern record keeping began in 1960.”

The NYT report of 22million acres burnt can thus be ignored.
10million acres burnt in 2015 is therefore "a record".
