Is the Carson coming back this year?
I've been watching the LA fire's on KNBC 4 in Los Angeles (great coverage by the way live all day) and they have the Skycranes and jet planes that deliver payloads very effectivley. I've got a bad feeling about this year

LA Fires
Every year they have big bad fires there,although very hilly, why do they not burn off and cut wide fire breaks in late winter early Fall (Autumn) in advance. and I agree with Ausrob, think we are in for a bad time after todays numerouse fires, I think most were delibetly lit ?.. jjAusrob wrote:Is the Carson coming back this year?

exactly! back in those days with the fire beaters... (kidding!)BuddahFRS wrote:Dont need to worry to much about when the helitacs will be here or not hey, just remember that we still can put out fires before helitacs, it was a bitch but we still did it hey
its a good point to be made though.. we have the helicopters and fixed wings that do great work for us.. but remember, they are not always available!
