Thanks for that information.

Along with, the Governors Office http://gov.ca.gov/
& California Dept. Of Forstry http://osfm.fire.ca.gov/

Is compromising the health and financial well being of Silicon Valley!

Total Fires: 1,032

Don't even try to do the math, the numbers are frightening...

There is not enough crews, engines, dozers, water tenders, and helicopters to put this out any time soon...and clear the air.
