Kate! I live in Caughlin Ranch, so before you put on your higher- than- thou attitude, let me set you straight. Some of the people that have contributed the MOST to society have litterally come from dire poverty and risen above it. Recently, a young woman graduated from a local high school and applied to college. She lived in her car. Was she stupid? No but you show a complete lack of intelligence for your crass, uninformed statements to Dave. My friend is a retired Warden from Soledad State Prison and he can't spell worth a hoot. Is HE stupid? Could you do his job? I am EXTREMELY grateful for the men and women who are fighting our fires. All of the fires. I checked into the pay scales for firefighters and was appalled at how little they receive for putting their lives on the line. God bless them all!!

No matter the price of the home or the income of the neighborhood; Thanks to the Firefighters for all they do in saving the homes and risking their lives to do it. Thank you to all of the families that have loved ones fighting the fires. We all need to be thankful for all that is done to save the homes and land that does not get burned. Think of all the people in South Tahoe that are sifting through the ashes to find any remaining memories they can salvage. Give prayers to them that they can recover and rebuild what they lost! We need to remain a community that supports each other not find the negative in one another. Keep the faith for all of Nevada that is on fire right now and think of someone other than yourselves, that may not be in their home right now due to a fire near them like the folks in the Rowland fire on the Nevada/Idaho border. It has burned more that 100,000 acres.
