I don't bother with pallets .
In the spring I have six 1ton builder bags delivered full of old cut up scaffold boards on to my driveway and the wood keeps us toasty during colder /damp days, bonus too as the scaffold company deliver the off cuts for free as it is cheaper to do so then having to pay some one to cart it all away.
You guys are so old school. This is what I use for heating in the winter.

Just remember it was started by a Diesel car! ...
I thought the water dropping planes would have stopped it? Didn't the NASA s.atellites pick it up with AI and douse the area toute suite? .... ...
(But RIP to those lost , and homes lost, etc, so deleting the smileys, etc)

That is insensitive comments if I could speak frankly. They are clearly irrelevant when you see the amount of embers flying around the entire area in wind up to 100mph. Do you want fire fighting pilots to fly in those conditions?
I still remember that beautiful stretch of the coastal highway going to malibu. God knows what it will look like after the fires.
BTW It's not water that is lacking, it's the network of pipes. The area is hilly, a lot more trees than an average town. The pumps won't be able to supply enough water to fight so many fires at once.

The fire planes were grounded coz Potato was visiting in his plane?
I think it's v. "Insensitive" of him to impede the firefighting effort for a photo op.
I saw video of planes dropping water. If planes were scooping water from the sea then the pipes, or lack thereof would not be an issue.
I take the populated areas have water (for living) and fire hydrants as summer fires are common. Are the burnt areas are unpopulated?
Is it summer? Do they have "wildfires" in winter?
I saw firemen with water bags running to and fro throwing them on buildings!
How windy is it, It says winds "expected"

They have fires virtually every year but they usually are isolated fires, not whipped up by 60mph to 100mph Santa Ana wind. We have in France the mistral in winters, the problem with forest fires is very similar. Firemen and bombardier planes can't work as much as people anxiously want them to. They scoop water from reservoirs and lakes, rarely from the sea presumably because the sea may be choppy. Helicopters can't work in high wind.
Did you watch the video clips of the fires? Did you see how far smokes went out to the ocean?
The criticism seems to to me rash and politically motivated rather than justified by facts.
My sister lives in the area. I am still waiting for news.

Did they turn off the sattellite cameras? Are the hydrants empty?
no and no. The wind has died down since yesterday but it may pick up again.
What they need is rain.

This is a lengthy document and I don't right now have enough time to read it all, but looking at it quickly, I don't get a sense of it showing the large scale of these organised abuse offences. It does point out the need for better data collection on ethnicity, but we know from prosecutions about that.

Using ctrl f to search the word Pakistani, it contains the word only ONCE in 198 pages and that is not at all in connection with abusers...........
They all knew exactly what was going on. One father had two thick ring-binders of meetings he had about his daughter with the police, social services and the council. His story is horrific. Nobody would co-operate.

There was a memo sent to all police chiefs from the Home Office telling them not to get involved, so at least the Home Office knew. That was the basis of the problem. The only question is why they sent it, and I can guarantee that it wasn't because they were afraid of being labelled racists.
