Of course I've been following this fire close, and more often than not the lefts idiocy is over climate change, Pubs blocking Bills to clean up the forest and farmers using too much water, all of which are complete lies, but now, these Marxists are attacking business for doing what they do to survive.

For a bit of perspective, this image comes from Sierra At Tahoe ski, the smoke in the picture is just the other side of the crest, once it jumps this Ridge, it's pretty much open territory for the fire to beeline down the mountain for Tahoe which is directly behind the camera.

Anyone interested, here's a helicopter live feed of the leading edge on the East headed for Tahoe.

It's hard to see from the air because the terrain looks relatively level, but many of these mountains to canyon bottom are more than a mile deep, this is some extremely harsh terrain, which is why they have to hit it from the air.
There is no way in other than walking, mule or off road quads and side by sides, and even then, most is too sheer to traverse.
This is an example of stupid libs in general. His claim the Caldor fire is burning through one of "Our" clearcuts is pure bull shit, then adds in your proverbial global warming lies.
As a former fighter fighter, we love the clear cuts, because not only were the forests cleaned up, the trees were planted in such a manner, they held fire at bay, or in the least, kept it from running.
I just want to smack the shit out of these NIMBY flatland lib armchair quarterbacks from the Bat Area....
https://twitter.com/rwebb/status/1430652501338902532
This is not true! This is part of my patrol area decades back, and I assure you, once it hits this area, all bets are off! Mark my word!
The fire will be virtually unmanageable, the terrain is virtually impassable due to cliffs, ravines, boulders, downright rugged in many areas, all they can do is hope to slow and redirect the fire, but winds will decide where it goes.
https://twitter.com/pundunt/status/1430660117217693697
Well, it made it over the crest and is now officially headed for the Tahoe area.
Since I don't don't watch TV I have no idea if this is news, but I know 20 years ago, this is all you would have heard about.
It has everything, Drama, libs love drama, it has critters, every square mile of Forest has history, it has man destroying ecology/environment, so they claim.
But most importantly, the libs think they own Tahoe, and they are about to lose an area they claim to protect.
I have news for them, it is your fucked up leftist policies that have put the entire area in danger!

Fire leapt 10 miles closer to Tahoe, called the Meadow fire.
Maybe they can knock this out before it grows. But regardless, it will probably make it within the next two days, maybe three depending on wind.

This quoted one is the Eastern leading edge on the northern side of the fire here on HWY 50 into Tahoe.
The one I'm posting below is the same Eastern front on the Southern side of the fire almost 10 miles apart, a 10 mile wide front of the fire.
This is a live view, by the time many see it, the lookout will probably be engulfed in flames.
It's almost 6:30 PM West coast time, the sun is that tiny dot in the smoke.
The image from the camera is looking Westward at the flames just about a mile away.

I swear, it's become so blatantly obvious, the left wants this distraction.
They want people focused on everything but the chaos and destruction they're creating unconstitutionally. Yes, this was all preventable, but when peoples lives and livelihood are threatened, they aren't interested in blaming anyone, they want the fires out.
Nucellini was given a $150 million Bill to sign that would have allowed us to start the process of cleaning up of the forests of dead timber, (though just a drop in the bucket), it would have been a good start.
He was handed the bill during two major fire outbreaks underway, and the very day this fire started, the Caldor fire, he refused to sign the Bill.
Can't wait for Elders to takeover.
Almost over the crest, then it's all free sailing from there, and there won't be anything to stop this fire.
Winds tomorrow and Tuesday, only rain can put it out.

Yep, if you remember the drive past Pollock Pines, all that forest is now destroyed all the way to the summit.
Remember cresting the summit and looking North down on Tahoe in the distance Northward? Everything in front of you and to the South is about to burn.
HWY 88 is due East from the summit, a straight view ahead as you came over the mountain, they've already started dozer lines down there, and closed 88.
I said when I started this thread that it would hit the Tahoe area, and it is. You can't stop these fires, only nature can end it by rain.
The main focus has been structure protection as the fire races through.

You have labeled it accurately, it is a distraction from the unconstitutional destruction that Dems are inflicting on the nation. While this is going on, the news media isn't asking any questions about Hunter, sleepy Joe, election fraud, the U.S. borders, Afghanistan nor the thousands that the Taliban will blatantly kill. It would not surprise me if it was the Dems who started or paid to start the fires as a distraction.

BINGO!!!
"Still Under Investigation", so goes the claim. From what I remember, it started in two separate places, about 300 yards apart.
That screams arson!
We have satellite tech that spots these incidents immediately, so the evidence is available, but we all know they'll never release it and expose themselves.
This is just one of the satellite sites that track fires instantly.

Why, whatever will the elite liberals do? All their fine cars and "stuff" will be burned up! Why their luxury homes, mansions and rental properties will all be burned up! Oh my Gosh!! Even their game systems will be burned up!
Maybe they can spend MORE of their time "protesting" so that MORE law enforcement agencies are "defunded". Maybe they can let MORE criminals out of jail so that MORE citizens are victimized. Maybe they can "protest" for MORE babies to be murdered via abortion. Maybe they can throw MORE money into Planned Parenthood so MORE babies can be murdered! Maybe they can grease the palms of MORE politicians so that the whole nation can suffer for liberal forest mismanagement. Maybe they will have MORE time to shut down MORE mines and refineries so that MORE people are put out of a job. After all, misery loves company!
Why Democrats have continually said that they never let a crisis go to waste, maybe this "crisis" can be used to free up more liberal time so that MORE can be done to implement socialism here in the U.S.

They warned them a week ago that things could get worse, but never stressed just how bad the situation was.
I knew it would only because of experience, but those in charge, for what ever reason, are soooo afraid of being wrong, that they'll continue to put lives in danger.
I've never really understood it, but it has something to do with the core of these bureaucracies. a culture of failure and blame, no one wants to take a stand, ever, knowing they can become the point of ire for those higher up!
They know if they do and anything goes wrong, and I do mean anything, be it a death on another fire, or vehicle accident, they'll blame the one guy who stood his ground and claim it was he that cause the chain reaction of events, due to moving resources around.
To me, it breeds cowards, it starts at The Guberners office, there is no leadership, just an entrenched cancer no one wants to fight, so no one ever takes responsibility.
Like I've been saying and you won't hear any of them say it, but this fire will continue to burn until the Summer is over and rain starts.
If anyone lives in an area that lies in the path of this fire, they better be prepared to go, or in the least, higher people to clear their property and build barriers.
Because Nature will choose its path and there's no stopping it.
I'll even make a prediction on this fire...The fire will head East south East, over the next few days, connect with the Tamarack fire to the South eventually, while heading for Nevada, will also turn North towards the lake forcing virtually what little manpower they have, into protecting structures.
At this point, and it depends of fuels, it will make a run Northward around the West side of the lake, while the East side hasn't near the fuels available because it drops into desert over the ridge into Nevada.
Granted this is all speculation, but it was my job to study the resources and fuels available at the time, and a good section of my Patrol area led into the Tahoe basin.
At least the police know what's coming....

This is know as crowning, where sick or dead trees allow the fire to climb to the crown of the tree where the winds carry it to the next tree etc.
A lot of people have cleaned around their properties, limed up the trees, removed the fire ladder limbs, but neglect the sap bleeds on the sick trees.
I see it all the time, trees doing their best to fight off bugs, by a process of bleeding large amounts of sap which can stream down the side of a tree leaving 20' or more in length of pitch, about as flammable as gasoline and burns like napalm.
Literally a match waiting to be lit.

Trump was RIGHT!
California will spend $500 MILLION this year to thin its 33 million acres of forests to lessen the chance of wildfires - after former president was laughed at in 2018 for suggesting raking the woodland floor
Groups of 12-person crews are combing the 33 million acres of California forests and cutting down trees to lessen the chance of wildfires
During the 2020 California wildfires, 31 people died and another 37 suffered non-fatal injuries due to 9,639 fires spread across the Golden State
Former US President Donald Trump had blamed the Cali's ongoing and deadly wildfire problem on the state's failure to clear its forests of dead trees and debris
T
rump ultimately ended up withholding government aid to California until they put the plan into practice, which recently began with cleanup crews statewide
California will be using $500 million in government aid specifically to combat its deadly wildfire problem
But Los Padres ForestWatch conservation director Bryant Baker warns that controlled burns threaten the native plant areas of SoCal's national forests \

Oh God, it makes you want to strangle these people! First it was wetlands/vernal pools or as normal people call them, mud puddles, then a fuckin nonnative fish, followed a snail, a frog, a turtle, mouse a God Damn innocent owl and now back to plants again!
Fuck the damn plants, they do not have feelings, these plants are not endangered!
One thing I learned working for the govt wildlife service and genetics lab, is plants adapt to a certain area, they develop differently from ones a few miles away, but they all originated from one plant.
Take Lanes Butterweed, a common plant in many areas, and most places call it a fuckin weed with a yellow flower, but because it grows in my area near a rock quarry consisting mostly of serpentine, or as the locals call it, Georgetown Jade.
They left used this fuckin weed to shutdown the quarry because serpentine is full of asbestos, that evil mineral!
So they claimed, because it's growing in serpentine, it must be special and endangered.
My entire area is packed with this shit, but thanks to commies in govt and their media, they created a huge problem for the rest of us via the courts and failed Tort Laws.
Sure, if you worked in a ship yard that used the mineral you probably died with Myelo Fibrosis a few years early, but we all die eventually anyway.
Anyway, I digress... :biggrin:

I feel for this guy...
Had the same percentage of 3rd degree burns as he did, the treatments take weeks, 24/7, every 2 hours they rip off the old bandage, scrub off any new skin growth, apply salt water and rewrap it, rinse & repeat every 2 hrs.
After weeks of this process of little sleep, they remove a patch of skin somewhere on your body (mine was the ass, I don't recommend it), run it through a tenderizer so it stretches, then they put you in a bath of salty water, scrub off all new growth till it bleeds, then apply the new skin.
They actually told me to curse so as not to hold in the pain..
I heard a 90 year old woman in the next stall, and she made me look like a church deacon.
She was so crass, I won't even repeat it, but suffice it to say, it had a lot to do with ramming medical instruments up where the sun don't shine, slowly and painfully intended, removed and turned sideways and repeated, she swore she would bite off his appendage if they hadn't strapped her down... :blushing:

You have no idea. The smoke makes it damn near unbearable at times. I haven't been able to go out of the hose for the past week.
The downside? It's going to be hot and muggy for the next week, but I'll take the trade off. :thumbsup:

I knew it didn't effect most, but most people never get the true perspective from the media, so I thought it might help if they got it from someone who has experience in fighting fires and lives the threat every year, and only getting worse as more libs move in.
It was never about AGW, it's always been about politics and not caring for our forests, that, and these Marxists dumb fucks off killing logging.
Now were a box of matches in the hands of spoiled children.
The Marxists try and blame global warming, but that's just CYA for failed forest maintenance.

Just an up date.
The fire for all intents and purposes, is out! But the State is and has been claiming for the last 2 weeks that it isn't yet fully contained.
Right now they're claiming it's only 93% contained. But why would they do this? FED Money, they can keep milking the taxpayer teat as long as they can get away with it by claiming the fire can still spread.
Sure, there are still smoldering stumps, but they are within the burn area, it is no longer spreading!
We've now had three rain storms come through, and last night we had snow over the fire, the peaks have several inches, and this is early in the year by about a month.
Translation, the drought will be over this year due to heavy rain and snow, and the Marxists will still claim it's due to AGW. :sneaky:

That is good news. Having not seen or heard anything about it for a couple of weeks I figured it was under control. Isn't some snow expected in the area?

Yeah, had several inches over night.
The fire is out for that matter with the exception of stumps. But the State will suck off the FED teat as long as they claim the fire isn't contained.
Here's hoping the Right people see this post.
This was yesterday over the fire, yet they're still trying to claim it's not yet fully contained.
They're Lying!!!

Well I'll be damned, they busted a father and son for arson.
But top be honest, they should be charged with SIP, Stupid In Public.
Arson should go to Nucellini, he is the reason the fire got so out of control. In years past when we thinned the forest, this would have been contained to less than 100 acres.
El Dorado County DA: Father, son arrested for arson in connection to Caldor Fire

Good to hear.
Father And Son Plead Not Guilty In Calif. Wildfire Case
A father and son are being held on $1 million bail in connection with starting the Caldor Fire in Northern California.
David Scott Smith and his son, Travis, were arrested on Wednesday and accused with reckless arson. The El Dorado district attorney said the men were illegally shooting a weapon, which ignited the massive blaze near Lake Tahoe earlier this year.
Their attorney said it was an accident and that the pair did their best to alert authorities.
"These people called in the fire on 911. They called it in as soon as they saw it. And the call dropped a couple times, I believe, and they kept calling back. They also warned some other campers in the area there was a fire," said Defense Attorney Mark Reichel.
