RE: SoCal Fire Report - August 8 - Mendocino Complex fire estimated to burn until September/ Go Bag Suggestions

in #firereport6 years ago

Oh they have that fire contained. And I'd have a lot more to worry about than the house catching fire. Parachute CO has hundreds of thousands of gas wells surrounding it for hundreds of square miles. See all those sandy circles with roads leading to them? And this is a small snapshot. If you were to scroll this map you'd see this goes on for miles and miles around here. If the wells caught fire the whole country would be in trouble! The gas and oil that comes from Parachute supply 60% of the country's natural gas consumption. But they made it rain here for a couple of days and if necessary I'm sure they would have brought in the National Guard or whatever it took to put this fire out.
