Don\'t worry darrell, there is a scientific explanation, it\'s called na-ture. - smurf Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:33:32 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5628 I don\'t know who you are talking to, no Christians I talked to are saying that. With an attitude like that, you give Christians a bad name. If God was angry with California He could wipe it off the map, not start a fire in the middle of the forest. Fires have been started by lightening since the flood. Before that it never rained. You lost the HOA election, thank God, next you will loose the water board. Praise the Lord. - JoeCool Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:25:20 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5626 in June??? How strange! More and more Christians are saying this is a bad sign. God is angry with the CA Suprems and thehomosexual marriages all over CA. No, Darrell Watkins didn\'t start the fires. - Kruk Ed Strait Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:14:42 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5622 Can you say disastruos once again ... To be sure though, Lake and other state\'s heroic fire fighters have done this too often thankless job of being there when needed . We praise their efforts in bringing this mess under control. We who live in rural areas know that WE live in Nature and have to be prepared to leave when necessary . We are SO fortunate to have these courageous, dedicated, compassionate, men and women who serve US so well. I cannot express my thanks enough. As a recent county resident, I have seen how well all the service people for Lake county work. You deserve all the credit in the world for the fine job you do. I may have to leave my home , but I know all that CAN be done, will be done to to save it and many others ... Thank you All , Anonymous :D - KingsFan Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:37:10 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5619 I remember last year when they had those awful fires in So. Cal. and AWOL Bush promised more and more timely help from the Feds? The Walker fire is on BLM lands and moving toward National Forest land. Somebody give that guy a kick and have him ship Forest Service fighters over here to protect their own ***^#%$ lands! - allen Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:15:06 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5617 Keep the firefighters in your prayers. It\'s hot, hard, dangerous work they do. I volunteered for many years and know they deserve our respect and thanks for their efforts!-Ginny Craven - parrothead832 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:20:23 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5615 Two of us from Upper Lake just traded out this morning because of our prior obligations. Having responded to this fire as an initial attack on Sunday, then doing structure protection for over 40 hours straight. Hopefully the guys still on the line will get relieved today, but with the current situation, the way resources are stretched, it is anyones guess at this point. It was quite the air show from our vantage point yesterday with the DC 10 doing 4 drops and multiple drops by other aircraft. The dozers did an exceptional job cutting off the fire from dropping down into the valley where we were sitting off of Merriam. The line held through the night, let\'s hope with the additional dozers that go on the line today we will continue to have the same success we had yesterday. Have fun out there Johnny Rocket! Nice picture of Deuce on 8032. - firecarp Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:12:01 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5613 Can\'t they get more air support from around the state, or even from outside the state? Can\'t our Govenor get more men and equipment from some states that are\'nt having problems with high heat and dry conditions. They\'ve done it before. Travis airforce base has the big cargo planes that can carrie equipment without any problems. :evil: :evil: - Denmar39 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:06:28 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5612 Does anyone know if HWY 20 is expected to close? - jmadison Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:08:52 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5610 Thank you for the great coverage. My husband is a volunteer firefighter in Upper Lake and is one the men up on the ridge. I appreciate the detailed account and the pictures. - jenny41 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:37:17 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5608 Darrell Watkins is just a poor misunderstood cranky old man. Luckily he DOES have all the true answers, being given them by our good lord of course. We should all respect his wisdom and elect him to the board in the Riviera. God knows he deserves it. God probably told him that himself. - California Sun Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:21:53 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5606 by the fire crews and LCN, great photos EL! 30 feet, eh darrell? Uh-huh! - smurf Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:10:49 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5604 Jim Robbins doesn\'t earn a 6 figure salary....but I agree with you he deserves it! That man works all day everyday and even in the night when there\'s not just fire but EMS for over 40 years. He\'s always been dedicated to OUR lake county community.....how do I know, because he\'s my Dad. I earn 6 figure salary and don\'t work as hard as he does. Thanks to you Elizabeth Larson for all your continued coverage as it\'s my only way to follow LC news as I live in the Bay Area. Keep up the HARD work Ginny. - Rosemary Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:49:42 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5603 reading for anyone that thinks a 30 ft fire break is sufficient when conditions are dryer than a popcorn fart. - Donna Christopher Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:49:37 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5602 :( - Rosemary Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:34:16 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5601 For your usual fine job and then some. - Rosemary Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:31:50 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5600 Is there any evidence that Darrell Watkins may have started these fires? - Ginny Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:47:36 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/4679/919/#comment-5599 It\'s good to see Jim Robbins earning his 6 figure salary - Ginny Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:37:28 +0100
