Wildland Fires

Are they threatening any homes?

Not yet, but it's getting closer:


Pete

How about providing some of us non-residents an idea where these current fires are?

This is just east of SJC, about in front of Piedra Barrenada. The fire started close to Racquet Club, and is now heading east

Pete

There are so many! Mountains are studded with them
Is that photo above your house, peteben?

This was taken from a neighbor`s mirador.
Today, only a few small fires left. We'll see if they grow back again.

Pete

Jeez, more unattended fires burning brush. An idiot neighbor in the Haciendas, the fire that nearly burned out The Ranch, this one near SJC....

Against stupidity gods themselves contend in vain. --Friedrich Schiller

we could have had a special brushfire unit here 5 years ago but trailrunner would not help when i asked her. it is now in chile. oh and jaws of life,defibs,bunker gear and training for all the firefighters and ambulance personnel around the lake to tizapan. i saw a fire station with 6 firefighters and 1 ratty jacket to share. yes i inspected them all. muchos gracias trailrunner. some people do and some people pretend they do

we should all be thankful to the firefighters that go to those mountains with the lack of equipment most of them have

Wow! Trail runner must have a whole lot of pull to get all that turned down!!!

I heard trailrunner is also responsible for the lake drying up...tsk tsk

At least!!! lol

Pedro must have said something profound again. . .I keep him in the dark dungeon of the foes.

i asked her for the help because she claimed to know the terminology and i didn't, so what is your point.
do you want to take over this task? even though the brush unit is no longer available,the other things are. oh, i forgot you don't live here and it would require someone that does and a great deal of their time as well.
since you think this is a joke ms thang,perhaps you are up to helping with all your knowledge?
i will give you all the files.

Me too, Trailrunner. It´s like you know some annoying little critter is yipping, yapping and snapping but you can´t really hear it.

So..... trailrunner was the only one you knew Lakeside that had any pull and knew the terminology. Imagine that.

she had no pull but did brag about her background as an emt, so i took that at face value.
by the time i found someone[retired mex/am firechief from cali and now here],i had educated myself enough.
imagine all you want;you have expertise in that sort of endeavour-n'est pas?

Not an ounce..just observing. BUT I DO know, if it were important and I believed in it...
I would have been a little more interested in making it happen...especially if I had all kinds of influence with the higher ups...which I don't.

i was referring to "your imaginings" as your area of expertise and nothing more. the project in question had nothing to do with knowing any "higher ups". trailrunner simply refused to help after being asked to do so by me. one does not have to like someone to help 250,000 others unless your name is trailrunner,i guess. i only met her face to face once at wally world so i have no opinion about her character except her refusal to help all those people and 23 +/- fire departments and cruz roja. fortunately someone else got cruz chapala a working portable defib. as far as i know the"jaws of life" in tizapan is a crowbar and that emt unit services all the way to san luis soyotlan. there is still only the one defib in chapala for the general public and one in private hands in ajijic.also a private clinic on the south shore. wanna guess how many elsewhere around the lake?

Dear Pedro
Before you start a rant, you might consider looking at the number of empty beer bottles next to your chair. If it is more than say 10 or 12, wait until the next day. Your posts MAY be easier to comprehend.

Also sentences begin with a capitol letter and end with punctuation for a reason. It means people know when a thought starts and stops... Oh never mind. What am I thinking?

I thought I heard a helicopter water bomber around - that's what they call in if there are lives at stake. Sure enough, Sr. Google says Jalisco has at least 4 of them

Trail runner.. he's making you sound like Super Woman!! All the knowledge and power that only you possess. You're the ONLY one who could have saved 250,000 people! Shame on you (Tongue firmly in cheek)

hardly-she finked out and it simply meant that i had to learn the terminology myself. no big deal. learning is good for one. you should try it sometime.
