"Legal" burn??? Last week when it was 100+ degrees, some idiot was permitted to burn brush for an several days and then let the burn smolder this whole time without taking proper care to make sure it was completely put out??? Are you kidding me??? - SC Mtn Local Sat, 24 May 2008 08:21:46 +0100 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1258/42/#comment-936 Under natural conditions, a forest fire would have happened much sooner and the masses of fuel would not have built up. Promoting removal of forests as a method to prevent forest fires seems excessive. - an environmentalist Fri, 23 May 2008 17:48:27 +0100 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1258/42/#comment-925 The VWC and the Sierra Club’s misguided demands to "protect" forests helped create conditions supporting these fires Their sophomoric demands to end logging is why there are masses of fuel that is these feeding fires that are are raging out of control. Their ongoing actions that have opposed even sustainable logging has resulted in our air being polluted while our forests and homes are being destroyed. It seems appropriate that the Sierra Club’s endorsement of Mark Stone (“their” politician who has supported their harmful agenda) is in fire red. - Dorothy Jersin Thu, 22 May 2008 19:25:16 +0100 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1258/42/#comment-924 Terrific, thank you. I, too, have been trying to find any info on the zayante fire. - Chris in felton Thu, 22 May 2008 18:30:58 +0100 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1258/42/#comment-923 false alarm, just bad mapping. - mary from BC Thu, 22 May 2008 18:25:57 +0100 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1258/42/#comment-922 Yahoo Local Traffic is showing: Fire, On Ca-9 Sb At Skyline Blvd 5/22/2008 4:02 PM Any info, anyone? - mary from BC Thu, 22 May 2008 17:46:03 +0100 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1258/42/#comment-921 It was really hard to find info about the Quail Hollow fire. It is near our house, so naturally we wanted to know the scoop. Thanks for having up to the minute coverage. I guess I don't need to put those photo albums in the trunk of my car after all. - Abbey Thu, 22 May 2008 16:57:32 +0100 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1258/42/#comment-920 i spoke with the gal at the ben lomond fire department about ten minutes ago (4:30 pm, Thursday) and she said it was fully contained, and that they've been "releasing resources" (letting crews go, probably back to the summit fire). well done press banner...we read you every week, and think you're great. - bill, from felton Thu, 22 May 2008 16:47:36 +0100 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1258/42/#comment-917 Kind of brings home the relevance of a local paper. The Sentinel online never picked up on the Felton fire. Awesome reporting Chuck, Peter and the rest of the crew at the PB. - Mya Thu, 22 May 2008 16:35:27 +0100
