Good job Lin, something else for those who have live feeds, put in any forest and state forestry frequencies in your scanners.

I'm currently working on a live cam site for volcanoes and also, for CA fires. It's a lot of work, but the rewards, so far, have been fantastic. Once I finish and make the site public, I would appreciate any other cam suggestions to add. This is a work in progress for everyone, and I hope, a good service, as well.

Achtung Gruppe!

All these crazy winds that have given SoCal and CenCal a collective Bad Hair Day the past few to several days are having the effect of drying out all that lush flashy fuel that sprang up during our just-ended El Nino rainy season.

Already the grasses are rapidly curing and turning brown.

Small fires have already popped up in various parts of SoCal from Santa Barbara County to Riverside County.

Soon, we will be fully into our annual fire season and as with every year it has the potential to be a doozy although for different reasons this year than during the past several drought years.

The heavy fuels will take longer to get to critical levels this year but the flashy fuels are nearly ready to go now and they are rich and luxuriant, even out in the desert areas that normally are fairly defoliated by more typical precipitation levels.

Please use caution while mowing your grass and trimming your brush as this time of year every year there are incidents of folks doing fire hazard mitigation activities whom start fires by accident.

Also use due caution in all your other activities that might conceivably start a fire and be on the lookout for foolish or even suspicious activity in fire prone areas.
