FirstMeasure Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You can see they're ready to fight for the house they're standing on, but the one engulfed is just lost. It's like war for those guys, It's hard on them when they lose ground, but they have to know where to draw the Skirmish Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 They always have my deepest respect. I used to have to call the Santa Barbara County Fire P.I. guy when I worked with the newspaper. He always said it was "overdue." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Oh man, is that happening right now? How bad is it? I haven't been able to watch the news lately and didn't know this was happening (have been doing 12 hour shifts and have been sick for 4 days).
