Wildfire Update - Thursday, October 25, 2007
Thank God the fierce winds have died down, and most of the Southern California wildfires have been fully contained by now. The firefighters have handled the situation superbly, and though there have been 1800 homes destroyed and half a million acres of land burned, the total destruction is far less than we saw in 2003. Our thanks go to all those who have laid their lives on the line in this time.
Still, people are now saying that we haven't learned from 2003 and we still don't have enough federal funding to prevent and fight wildfires. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out in the bureaucratic realm.
