[QUOTE="mitch2, post: 453107, member: 6621"] I think a problem with most fires, is us putting them out. The environment needs the burns for regeneration. When they are continuously put out, the undergrowth accumulates and makes it exponentially worse when eventually it does start a fire. This is my opinion/theory. The "Witch" fire was started by an exploding transformer. That is what my brother heard anyway. He lives in SoCal and was evacuated Sunday night. He and his family live in Ramona, not directly in the city, but there. Reports are his house did not burn, but burned right into his backyard. His house is just an average house, anywhere where "normal" ;-) people live his house would by an average $200K to $250K, but in SoCal it is like a $750K house :roll: His homeowners insurance is in the range of $5000 a year, he told me at one time.
