It's about time these poor guys were let off!

I heard from numerous people in-the-know as far as fire information goes, that this disaster could have been contained early on, like the first or second day!

Word has it, County fire officials decided to "let it run" because the fuel was too old and this was the perfect excuse to not contain. I saw one map they posted at the community info. sites that clearly showed a very narrow area on the northern boundary where this thing SHOULD HAVE been stopped.

Remember, they had air suppression support from everywhere for this fire, including the DC 10 & they couldn't contain it. Come on!

If this is the type of firefighting leadership & decision making brain trust we have in SB County, then I say then need to "have THEIR feet held to the fire" and answer some serious questions!

On Charges Dropped Against Men Who Started Zaca Fire

WARNING! Do your homework when checking out & selecting a care facility. Some local facilities appear to be posh and top-notch on the surface, but do your research! A trip to the S.B. Courthouse is a must to see if any legal actions have been filed or are currently underway against a facility. Also, a check with the CA Dept of Health Services in Oxnard to see if any violations, deficiencies or citations have been issued against a care facility is also a must. Some S.B. places have had and currently have lawsuits in progress after a recent check at the courthouse. Remember - you don't always get what you pay for! Research like crazy because it's your loved one(s) & a LOT of hard earned money to keep them in a Santa Barbara area care facility! You deserve only THE BEST place with zero blemishes on their record.
