The SoCal Fire is auspicious as Fuck! I’ve driven lots of this roads where the fire is burning. Decker is my favorite - total Fast and Furious fun zone. The 101 side by TO does have lots of trees but once you hit the mountain to cross over to PCH and Malibu the area is arid and mostly low brush for fuel. Sure there are some trees but surely fire fighters can contain most. Also don’t forget that the under brush gets burnt out every 10 years of so. I witnessed the Santa Barabara fire and many other in the area. If you watched MASH then you know exactly what the area is basically like because Mash was filmed in TO. Some cowboy movies were filmed in the area too.
