You're only saying that cos the last one closed before I could point out B4Bear was calling arabs "goat herders" and that's why i got stuck into him.

At least he didn't say they were all Jihadists I spose.

No, I said it because these threads constantly involve you jumping in and starting arguments for argument's sake.

Like you're doing now.

Amazing when you think ( and l hope l'm correct ) the four L.A.fires still burning have burnt out just under 16,000 hectares. Didn't have figures for the two contained fires.

Black Saturday 450,000 hectares

Yeah the total geographic area of the LA fires isn't the issue.

It's that the hills where the fires are back RIGHT onto densely populated suburbs.

It's like if Collingwood and Fitzroy was directly at the base of the Grampians.

Are there height limitations over the LA fires regarding Jet Water Bombers or are they using them and I haven’t seen them?

I'm quoting this here cos this fire situation could be talked about for ages.

These fires are driven by whats known as the Santa Ana winds. They are hot dry, strong winds that blow in off the desert in Nevada, Utah and Eastern California. There are predictions of ongoing winds over 120km/hr this week, whether that's gusts or regular wind I dunno. Lets assume its just gusting tho.

You wouldn't be able to use a helicopter in those winds, its too dangerous. Even if you could aiming and delivering the water would be very difficult. Its probably the same story with planes and pink fire ******ant is not much use in an urban area.

As Chad said just before, these fires are happening on the urban interface, what Americans call wildland/urban interface (WUI). If you look on Google Earth or some other sat photos at LA you'll see that not only is there this interface all over the place the bushland there is rough. There are canyons everywhere and this makes the localised wind conditions very unpredictable, especially as the heat from fires feeds back into the air flow. I've been at fires where on the edge of deep gullies, which are pretty much the same thing, the wind below was blowing in one direction up the bottom of the gully while we were (right at the top) it was moving in the opposite direction.

This sort of thing would be happening everywhere in that part of Southern California now.

Its only the places close to the very edge of the interface that are threatened by the actual fire but, just like here, embers will travel on the wind. Especially when its that strong. So fire could be spreading on embers for a kilometre or more away from the edge of their bushland. This is all compounded by the weed problem they have in California. Australian Eucalyptus trees are a weed in California, tho its already got enough fire prone natives. You know what they burn like here, and they're notorious for driving fires with embers. So they'll make a bad situation worse.

Wow re tar dant gets censored here.
