Wild Witches How does the San Diego: Rice, Horno and Coronado wild fires stated ?
THe Witch and the Harris Fire started first them 25 15 and 10 miles away from the main fires these fires broke up. THe Horno fire was a byproduct of the CAL firefighters starting a back fire that went out of hand. Was this the situation with the other two fires mentioned above?
I'm a San Diego North county resident my self and even thou in Google maps fires look close to each other in reality they are far from each other by miles.
People talk about amber moving for 10, 15, 20 even 35 miles away? That is simply ignorance and a fallacy. No ambers will travel more than a mile or two without getting stuck some where. Normally under 15 mph winds they can travel 100-600 feet. Santa Ana winds were in the ranges of 40- 50 mph not 70 that was up north in Malibu not San Diego and they are not exactly constant blow. Usually they sustain themselves for 10-15 minutes stop in erratic patterns and depending on topography (hills, flats valleys) so do the math people 50MPH for 15 minutes it will be only three miles at the most for an amber to travel if its light enough thinking it doesn't find any obstacles on the way. Most of the amber we've seen here are thick pieces of carbon they will not travel that far.
I think the policy of using "back fires" has been the biggest mistake for CAL fire and SDFD departments. The news is not able to catch all the firefighters activities but we saw in more than one occasion firefighters starting back fires in the middle of Santa Ana winds even in areas close to the Witch fire and a clearcase in Horno fire. BAD JUDGMENT on their part.
Also arsonists: people point at Mexicans starting fires but look this week was the voting on Health care for kids that the President wanted to veto. The California fires coincide with this legislation in the Congress. Was there any good political reasons for this fire to happen at the same time Congress was voting? Lift president's rating approval?
Anyway we need a comprehensive analysis of this situation to determine real not speculative causes and also look into the flaws and mistakes that were made by SDFD during the fire. Arsonism should be explored more in depth. So many fires so far from each other sprouting the thing was well planed to spread out thin firefighters resources. Is important to understand the controversy between north count fire chief (Horn)and east county fire chief for the past two years to understand this dilema.

With The Return of the King, the greatest fantasy epic in film history draws to a grand and glorious conclusion. Director Peter Jackson's awe-inspiring adaptation of the Tolkien classic The Lord of the Rings could never fully satisfy those who remain exclusively loyal to Tolkien's expansive literature, but as a showcase for physical and technical craftsmanship it is unsurpassed in pure scale and ambition, setting milestone after cinematic milestone as the brave yet charmingly innocent Hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood) continues his mission to Mordor, where he is destined to destroy the soul-corrupting One Ring of Power in the molten lava of Mount Doom...
