100 years of misguided fire management biting us in the butt.

Heavy plumes of smoke from the STATION fire near La Cañada Flintridge billow up to 15,000 ft over the Hollywood Hills on Saturday Aug. 29, at 4:00pm.

I can't but gasp at the fire in the Angeles National Forest. An area larger than the size of the District of Columbia has now burned.

An area, where fuel has been allowed to accumulate for 40+ years, because the pigheaded policy of the U.S. Forest Service in the last 100- year has been suppression at all cost and allowing humans to settle in natural burn areas.
