Dear Bob,
July 13, 2010 (San Diego County) -- Multliple hazards have occurred this afternoon
at several locations countywide.
A major fire on Camp Pendleton has swelled to over 100 acres and may reach 1,000
acres, with containment not expected until tomorrow.
In East County, a semi-truck has spilled 100 gallons of fuel, prompting a Sig Alert
on I-8 east of Jacumba. An earlier brush fire at Jacumba on Highway 94 has been
contained at 2 acres after burning a trailer and structure.
In Lemon Grove, a swarm of bees has attacked two people, who were transported to
a hospital. The bees are still in the vicinity on Mt. Vernon Avenue.
=Bob

Can't they get the fuel to spill near the bees then light it on fire?

Ag industry should stay out of neighborhoods other than to police for pests like the med fly.

Do you understand the difference between the industry and the regulators? =Bob I know you lack the education to understand this Bob, but the Ag Industry welcomes the Regulators when it comes to insect pests. The local crop growers strongly support the efforts to limit pest infestation as those pests can ruin them. They actually work with the DOA to build inspection programs for neighborhoods and points/ports of entry. I see it as one well cooperating block, unlike the meat producers who hate government inspection and have shot agricultural inspectors to death on occasion. Just a few years ago three of them were shot dead up in the Bay Area. |

I wrote what I did because the ag industry relies upon bees and isn't thrilled when they're destroyed, especially considering the problems involved due to colony collapse. It didn't have a thing to do with "pests". But having spent 16 years dealing with planning issues in the Back Country, much of which was in ag land, I suspect I know more about ag issues than you do. =Bob =Bob |

I was an officer with the Department of Agriculture many years ago.. Ask people if they remember the GERMAN. I was an obnoxious son of a bitch and proud of it. |

I bridged my 12 years of Naval Officer Service into a few years with the US Department of Agriculture. And, yes, the USDA does go into local neighborhoods to ensure compliance with pest quarantines. The State does, too. It all depends upon which entity imposes the quarantine. Check out APHIS - Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Plant Health is a very important thing for the Federal Government as well as the states. We can not have any of those damn tropical bugs ruining billions of dollars worth of crops.  |
