Don't even get me started on the hazards of fires. Up there in
Nova Scotia where there's more trees than folks breathin' just
one mishap could spell doom for sure.

I remember when I was six years old playing in my yard wearing
my Batman t-shirt I spotted a fire breaking out at a Salvation
Army warehouse a house away. I caught it just in time as my mom
and the church ladies were at our house and the fire dept.
rushed over just in time before the whole thing went up in
flames. There were stored paints and chemicals and such and a
school just a stone's throw away. I realized then how dangerous
fires were and a year or so later I was pulled from a burning
car by the same fire dept. manned by friends whom our families
have been friends to this day over a 100 years now.

A few years back here in Hollywood I was lucky enough to be
alert enough to see smoke coming from a high price hotel I was
at a seminar attending. I caught that fire just as it broke
out. LAFD showed up just in the nick of time.

Now the range fires we've had here have been so devastating year
after year folks are on edge whenever the wind blows. I've even
taken video of a couple of times an posted em' on YouTube.

The fires over the past three years here were horrifying to say
the least. Last year it was so bad folks who had lost their
homes were lining up on N. Vermont avenue having to give their
pets away cause they couldn't keep em' at the shelters. Folks
were sleeping in the streets and on folks' lawns and such. When
those fires move they can get ground speeds of up to 30 mph and
the heat takes you out before the fire even reaches you by tens
of yards. It was no joke and breathing that smoke for days on
end ain't healthy neither.

Folks are still gathering themselves from last year's fires and
the causes range from kids playing with lighters to arson to
tossing lit cigarettes around.

Fire is no joke. These clowns in Jersey and their UFO experiment
could have been something horrendous had something gone wrong.

Even in the short video I shot you can see how the pigeons and
planes had to fly low with all the smoke and that was the
smallest of the fires.


Best,

Greg
