California Mountain Officers Fire Spotters..

Published:

Mountain Police Officers or Fire Spotters in California to Prevent Wild Fires: It occur to me that the same way the Mexican Border has border patrol officer overseeing it, why not pay someone wage to be in the mountains of california so that they can oversee any wildfire arsonist or see first thing when a fire starts/breaks out....This way they can call firefighters or the helicopter with water to come and pour water where the wildfire is....This will cost the state of california, nothing, compared to the 100 Billion dollars they got to if the fire stars and causes havoc (I heard the last devastating fire in CA amounted to around 100 Billion dollars; up to this day i can't believe it; i keep thinking is 100 Million dollars)...Think about it, for the past 5 years every summer there has been IMMENSE, DESTRUCTIVE FIRE in California (or something of that nature)...Why not save the State of California 100 billion dollars a year by simply putting some mountain overseers (they don't have to be police, just fire spotters)....I mean i seen police officers take care of huge areas of wildlife, talking about wildlife conservationism or wolves overseers/spotters and the thing is that if those wolves are gone, it wouldn't cost the government 100 Billion dollars, but Wild Fires can cause the government 100 Billion dollars....

Or you are going to leave it like that and wait until is too late and the wire has already spread to start tackling the fire and by then it will spread wickedly and you are only going to get it 10% contain like i usually hear on the news....Something to think about....(I am talking about fire spotters/overseers with binoculars or a police force to take care of the situation...)...I am talking about some fire spotters with ATV's equip with binoculars...All you have to look for is smoke...

I've heard some say that California got fire spotters but i don't believe they do because if they did, there wouldn't be devastating fires like the one that just happened recently about a month ago...

 

Modified Military Tanks To fight Mountain Wild Fires: It occur to me that why they don't build a modified version of a military tank but to fight wild fires, the kind of wild fires that are up in the mountain or through rough terrain...The regular fire truck can climb mountains but a military tank can...Or they can use something similar but at the same time dissimilar to a tank...They could have a built-in Big Water tank with a fire hose...A fire may destroy a car but i doubt it will destroy a military tank...What i am saying is using the same technology military tanks use but modify a little, take the protuding fire cannon out of it, and the misile storage...I was thinking in wrapping up the inside of the tank with a thick plastic that is very resistant to fire or a metal that is very very resistant to fire or have the highest melting point...I was thinking also of stripping the tank of computers and computer buttons and all of that..And if is too heavy, i am sure they can put horsepower to a tank, i mean they got locomotives with so much power I AM SURE THEY CAN BUILD THIS THING....i mean it could work...

 

Binnoculars & Glass Screen Invention: They ought to build the same way they build binoculars they ought to build something like a screen that allows a 360 angle view...Something like a laptop but where you have a bigger view than a binoculars...Binoculars you only see in tubes and the area directly infront of your nose you can't see it...Is better to have like a laptop where you point it at a particular area and it automatically detects the presence of smoke or you can see it for yourself...But i was talking about maybe something as thick and maybe with 2 feet where you can see the presence of smoke...Maybe something kind of like the Welder's mask that they put on to weld....That mask gives a better angle view than a binoculars....Now if you put it as thick so that you can see completely afar it will be O.K....

And i thought of something, why don't they put ELECTRONIC CAMERAS ON THE California MOUNTAINS TO OVERSEE/spot when fire starts....I forgot California is a BIG STATE...Why not place electronic cameras...But i don't mean your pathetic electronic cameras they show on TV...I am talking an electronic camera with some HIGH DEFINITION/RESOLUTION VIEW...Because the cameras that i've seen are not HIGH DEFINITION enough....Or why not have those modified tanks circuling the mountains, specially where there is dense woods/trees/shrubs...

Too bad you can't build a time machine :-) since you have such great ideas like heart imaging and increasing life insurance for the military. Now you propose hiring Fire Spotters in CA. The CA Department of Forestry has employed many spotters for a long time, Pumpi. How effective they really are is another story but it's hard to point fingers when the shoe is on the other foot. Fire spreads rapidly and, depending on the weather conditions, often gets out of control pretty quickly. The AP reported that the CA firefighters requested help from our government but, for some reason, there was a 2 day delay before they could get help from the Natl Guard. (sounds like Katrina!)
