[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often are wildfires in SoCal? If memory serves right, Claremont had a fire right next to their campus earlier this year! It feels like it’s been on constant fire.[/quote]
Common out west. CA is very dry.[/quote]

Very scary. [/quote]
There are natural disasters everywhere. Hurricaines, blizzards, tornadoes... pick your poison. The trick to living with fire risk is to follow evac orders when given and be prepared to lose large material possessions, though odds of either happening are actually quite small.

We have two properties in a western state where fires are common. We are aware that our vacation house in the mountains, if fire comes, would just be gone and we are ok with that. However, in 20 years, we've never been under even pre-evac orders at either spot. Fires are typically very localized.

I have not been following the LA fire news carefully, but from the little I saw, the water scarcity issue is a problem and shouldn't have been unforeseen. There are probably issues behind the response.[/quote]

No. The issue is 80-100 mph winds that spread fire faster and farther than any fire fighting force could contain it. This is what fire experts are saying, if people would stop watching Fox News and listen. Stop spreading misinformation.[/quote]
