Screw 'em! Smokem' if you got 'em.

I'm lighting a fire tomorrow morning, fuck them

 

[LuauLounge]

Sacramento has the same for Xmas Day.
I put in a NG insert 20 years ago, as I wanted heat more than ambiance. Heats the entire front of the house, which is what we were looking for.
So, I’ll throw plastic bottles in the trash and find some other nonsense ideas that these idiots have come up for New Years.

 

[DLC]

I’d go light an outside BON Fire and go sit inside just because !! Might even toss on a tire to make up for those not able to fight the battle

F those Bitches! Merry Christmas

Has anyone ever seen / heard of any getting busted for it?
I mean I guess, if you're in a rural burn zone & you've got the full on 'Burning Man' action going on in your backyard . . .
But what do they have . . . ??? . . . people driving around in vans starring up at chimneys???

A few years back they were trying to get traction to eliminate some or all of the fire rings at huntington state beach . . . I saw them putting up equipment across PCH to monitor air quality, but nothing ever became of it.
They tried to pull the same shit in Corona Del Mar and got shot down . . . that was basically the 'Richies' not wanting dirt bag wood burners on 'their' beach.
I'm sure they went back to the drawing board and are re-formulating a game plan and it's only a matter of time.

Until they figure out how to ban volcanoes I'm not complying with shit

No kidding right! Knock, knock... hello, Hi, yes we are from Aqmd and here to tell you you need to put out your fire place now please.

I'd tell them Merry Christmas and get off my property and slam the door.

Yep!


No warrant, no entry. There isn't a single judge on the face if the planet that will want to take time away from their family on Christmas to sign a warrant over someone having a cozy fire in the fire place.

Problem is that's not how it will happen. They will take pictures and attach a 500 fine to your property tax bill. You don't pay They levi your house...

What yhey have are your neighbors reporting on you. When i lived in CA, neighbor always told me that last night was a no burn day an i shouldn‘t have had a fire. Standard answer was i didn’t know. Then i started getting the No Burn Advisories via email. Betting money she signed me up. Either way i kept burning

 

[Ricks raft]

Don’t tell anyone, but our county (in Ca), still has no burn restrictions and no biennial smog checks.

 

[Sharky]

Wonder if this ban applies to homeless encampments?

 

[DWC]

Wonder if this ban applies to homeless encampments?

As long as the firewood was less than $950 I’m sure they’re good.

 

[Happy Smitty]

It would be a good idea for California to ban thier wildfires. That smoke makes its way over here to AZ and pollutes our air.

 

[HNL2LHC]

I took care of the burning for you……

 

[mjc]

but the weather is nice.......

So nice why would you need a fire for warmth?

 

[Andy B.]

Exactly this!!!

 

[4Waters]

 

[4Waters]

You mean just 3 days after 3-14" of rain, our air quality is so bad that we have a no burn in effect? More of the "see how far we can push you and make you fall in line" shit

 

[PaPaG]

Little by little California had turned to into such a commi state, amazing that so many conservatives still like living there and support the state with their tax dollars. Telling citizens they can't have fires, diesels, gas powered mowers etc....FK YOU CALIFORNIA!

 

[HBCraig]

The funny thing is on weekends I can smell the bonfires on the beach when the wind is blowing on shore

 

[The Prisoner]

How will Levi’s fit on a house???

 

[Romans9]

I would be more concerned about the state allowing your twelve year old son to castrate himself against your wishes more than a burn ban but that’s just because I’m old fashioned I guess.


Watching all the rules and regulations from afar for all these years makes it easy to see how California does things just to keep its residents tuned up for control.

Some of what Cali residents just roll over and take is mind blowing. The conditioning is self evident.

But hey I know, business, retirement, weather, entertainment, etc.…

Merry Christmas!!!!

 

[rrrr]

You poor bastards.

 

[RogerThat99]

I mean a Yule Log fire on your TV is basically just as good. F California!! Luckily my county doesn't have fire bans, other than no fire days for burning brush.

I'm going to burn some trash in my backyard. Just because.

Comparing the AQMD air quality map to the burn map, does raise some questions as to why such a large area for what appears to be a much smaller area with moderate air quality.
Appears Simi isn't included. What I find most odd is Catalina Island being affected with clear skies. Unless they're motive is adding pollution to the LA Basin --- Doesn't break my heart, I hate the smell of burning wood --- well since our house burned anyway, that smells stays with you.

Seems awful aggressive with the restrictions to me. But then I prefer clean air

That's a different map than I saw last night on ABC and this morning on kcal9, Simi was included, as a matter of fact most of Ventura County was and we just got a notification on our ring from community alert that we are in a no burn.


This sky is over the SFV, looks really bad over there

Well, next time you want up to the minute air quality and burn maps --- I suggest this is probably a more accurate source than KTLA.
https://www.aqmd.gov/ if anybody gives a shit. If AQMD continues to cry wolf on days that don't justify it, they'll even have less public cooperation than they're currently getting.

But that's how these government entities work isn't it ? Primary mission statement of them all, priority # 1, Justify your continued existence.
Priority # 2, Always spend every budget dollar and ask for more the following year, and the next and they next. Priority # 3. Never obsolete your job, always maintain the necessity.

So the ban is working.

 

[rivergames]

Every Politician can suck my dick. I'm in the City of LA and this was in my Fireplace Yesterday

I'd like to see them come knock on my door and try and tell me to put out my fire.

 

[JayBreww]

Someone say fire?
Better tell 40 of these new US Citizens to follow the law, allegedly.

AQMD has no jurisdiction in Ventura County. One of the MANY reasons we chose to move to Simi and not LA, Orange, San Bernadino, or Riverside counties.

AQMD can't go past the Santa Susanas....... I was laughing at my Dad yesterday when we was telling me about the ban. Like he said though, how in the hell would any of this work?

1.... He said it wasnt mentioned on the new cast he watched (I think he watches Fox), he only knew of it because he read the Times for the first time in months on Sunday.
2.... How would they enforce it and who would attempt to enforce it?
3.... If it was enforced, it would never stand scrutiny because of the previous points.

Trump's biggest mistake when in office was not eliminating the loop hole that allows individual air resource boards to exist,

 

[timstoy]

Telling people what to do is getting old with a lot of people. People are starting to realize that government isn't telling us the truth. Yesterday and today looks incredible in So Cal but the AQMD says no fires and extended no fires today also. Could it be they just want to ruin your holiday? I can tell you they won't ruin mine!
