[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 452858, member: 5917"] Lammie I agree with you. You know you can always tell an idiot, but you can't tell them much. There are programs sposored by Forest Service to educate people about living in a fire prone area. It doesn't do a heck of alot if the people living there will not listen to the fire fighters when they tell them how to protect their homes. I know of different volunteer fire departments going out and offering to help them and out of 20 homeowners only about 2-4 will take them up on it. Alot see it as a way to get their place cleaned up for free, but don't understand that the FF's won't come back year after year to hold their hands. They no longer do the "white rock, black rock" system. White meant savable, black meant not savable. Too many people found out about it and would paint rocks white or would throw the black rocks in the weeds. Some of these homes are in areas that are death traps, so there is a different rating system. Talk to some of these FF's about how ungrateful some of these people are. Common sense no longers rules.
