Officials: "No chance" of Catalina fire spreading to L.A.
Fire spokesmen (as if the four Empedoclean Elements can have a spokesperson ... fine, I'm the Earth spokesman) say there is "no chance" the thousand-acre fire raging on the island of Santa Catalina can reach Los Angeles, 40 miles across the Pacific Ocean.Firefighters maintain the blaze is about 70 percent contained and "couldn't possibly" spread to Hollywood.
This is just another example of The Man trying to keep us fat and ignorant.
Firefighters came from as far away as Los Angeles and Camp Pendleton to save the hills of Santa Catalina Island and its main city, Avalon. How? By plane and boat. Don't tell me some fire couldn't sneak on a plane or boat and disembark on this side to kill our fish and ducks.I am not naturally an alarmist, but in the same way it has been scientifically proven that earthquakes can use trains to threaten any city that Amtrak services, so can fire hop on a boat. Those killer ants did it, so why can't fire?
