  1. Climate change my ass! I too lived in Happy Camp and there was 2 sawmills processing forest products and supporting families. Thanks to environmentalist idiots, timber harvesting stopped, can't ask the spotted owl to relocate; bet they relocated now. Having stopped timber harvesting they now scream about fires being more intense. Cause there's more fuel?

  2. I wonder how golf course's, swimming pools and fountains cause this.

  3. Newsom pushing biggest dam removal project in the history of humans.

    Four hydroelectric dams on Klamath River (Iron Gate, Copco1, Copco 2 and Boyle) will be destroyed. Three reservoirs are holding 45 billion gallons of fresh water will be gone forever.

    Destruction of California’s Klamath River Water Storage and Clean Green Renewable Hydro power by urging dam removal during major drought, eliminating fire suppression in a catastrophic wildfire area, bypassing American citizens right to due process by violating the Klamath Basin Compact, ignoring NEPA and trying to rush through Klamath Dam Destruction without considering the health and welfare of MAN and the environment, ignoring the County of Siskiyou and the will of its People.

  4. It's not unusually hot.

  5. I hope 🙏 the whole place BURNS 🔥 IN HELL, THOSE RING OF FIRE VOLCANOS 🌋 START BLOWING OFF THE WEST COASTLINE AND THEN THE FAULTLINES START SHAKING AND IT ALL FALLS OFF THE NORTH AMERICAN PLATE. ALLELUIA 🕊

  6. My best friend moved to Happy camp back in the day the collins I grew up in Yreka

  7. I'm guessing it was a gender reveal party, yet again.

  8. Why does it reminds me of Angel Island Zone from Sonic 3&K?

  9. CA could obtain surplus M113, M548 and M577 tracked personnel carriers free from Uncle Sam if vehicles which can drive THROUGH these fires are wanted. European wildland firefighters and some US firefighters use them effectively as tracked (because wheeled apparatus is delicate, flammable and cannot go cross-country in rough terrain.
    Aberdeen Proving Ground developed tracked firefighting conversions (quite simple and similar to brush trucks) to fight fires on artillery ranges and Russia converted surplus tracked AFVs for their rather large wildland fires.

    I mention this now and then because apparently Americans don't know they have better rescue vehicle options not vulnerable to burnover like wheeled trucks but despite enormous fires there is little interest. M113 FOV have VERY simple drivetrains and the hulls lend themselves to future hybrid conversions. (BEV was done many years ago before battery tech matured.) The US has thousands of earlier A2 models which are not uparmored making them lightweight. The US military uses the A4 versions on active duty.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM7P5uDGY8Y shows a French M113 conversion of the Corsica Fire Service.

    M113 are free to acquire (send a flatbed and get two at once) but oddly law enforcement have been the biggest takers (squad cars don't stop bullets) despite their ability to deliver, support and protect firefighters who can take safe refuge under armor. I'm not selling anything and have zero economic interest in the conversions but learnt about them doing military work. They can tow water bowsers (also available milsurp), extricate stuck wheeled trucks, and bulldozer blade kits are easy to install (also a miltiary item).

    M548 are not fully armored but fairly popular with US firefighters. Here's an advanced version:

    M113 and M577 fully protect their crews and can be delivered quickly by flatbed, Landoll and similar trailers or fitted with Canadian Soucy band tracks then driven on any road without risk to pavement. Too bad they won't get used in CA as they probably look too "military" but the price is unbeatable, parts are available worldwide and many countries have a surplus of them as they're the most versatile post-WWII US armored vehicle.

  10. Good job Antifa 👍🏻

  11. So happy! Burn those lib tards to the ground!!!!!!!

    Thank you god!!!!

  12. The spirits are exacting revenge on these white people who have settled here.
    In the 19th century, white men grabbed this land from the Modoc Indians in a war that almost annihilated the Modocs.
    The surviving Modocs should be allowed to reclaim their ancestral lands.

  13. Republicans don't believe fires are real

  14. This big bolt ho can u not control fever ?

  15. Ur Ke local dog half u Montreal fever problems green one big bolt powerfully can't stored response back to u so listen I'll trape deffernts type this time

  16. Excuse me mr narrator, it is pronounced "Klamath = Clam-ath, not claim-ith" I grew up in Ashland spending a lot of time in the hilss and mountain ;lakes from Weed Ca. to Klamath and Keno Bend Hilt Yreka etc and it has been a tinder box for a long time the summers with all the pines and such and so much scrub oaks and madrone there just isnt much chance of getting any control of this I'm afraid. May GOD watch over all who live in the area. It was so recent all of the firest that nearly wiped out Phoneix and Talent Oregon, and so many of the outlying communities like Blue Ridge who are still recovering from those fires, really so terrible.

  17. 'Affordable land for sale' …………………. Wooded areas and water front properties are something to prep for with our planets shifting climate.

  18. Climate change is making things more difficult each year

  19. California should seek NATO membership.

  20. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
    But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.

    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
    BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
    And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
    your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
    But if you do not forgive others their sins,
    your Father will not forgive your sins.

    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
    then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come
    when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

  21. HEY! CONSERVE WATER! REMEMBER? I see more firefighters looking at the fire and few actually putting water on the fires. Dont they get it by now, that every year theres going to be big fires. Last year, this year, probly next year. If thats a for sure thing, why not do whatever it takes to be fully ready and prepared to put any and all fires out within hours instead of days n weeks.

  22. 1 Corinthians 15:1 – Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

    1 Corinthians 15:2 – By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

    1 Corinthians 15:3 – For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

    1 Corinthians 15:4 – And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    John 5:24 – “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

    Acts 16:30 – And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be Saved?

    Acts 16:31 – And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy House.

    Hebrews 10:14 – “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”

    Ephesians 1:13 – In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

    Ephesians 4:30 – And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

    Once saved always saved.
