yeah well the santa ana winds arise roughly at the same time each year, and the local plants need natural fire, for more infor read this here it names and explains several plants native to califronia that depend on natural fires, yes its sad that it has to happen, and i do regret that humans have made the mistake of making homes in the middle of these types of habitats, but all wee can do is pray and hope for the best, so anyways hey MG08 when are you coming back, back to cali, cali?
