I would like to clarify that we as private landowners are not attacking the firefighters on the ground .They where great and helped to keep our houses and properties safe after the fire went thru at there own personal risk .We are criticizing the decisions to light a burnout at 2 pm with heavy afternoon winds and low humidity predicted.In a fire that was burning at low intensity that morning,after being told by many local people that the winds here are unpredictable. They lit it with no structure protection on personal residences in the area .It was well over 200 acres of personal land burned by the burnout not 20.
thank you guys on the ground, cal fire crews and hyampom volunteer firefighters !!!,
