That’s actually why I made this post. My sister was staying at her bf’s house last year and they woke up at 3am and the house was on fire. They fled immediately and by that afternoon it had burned to the ground. He lost everything in that fire. Entire neighborhoods of my hometown burned completely to the ground last year.
And it’s not even like rural land it was like the SUBURBS.
This was my hometown last year. Because of wildfires started by lazy disgusting selfish people like the ones who throw cigarette butts out their windows.
This year again there are wildfires in California and you know damn well almost all these fires start by cigarette butts dropped by some lowlife piece of shit. My aunt posted yesterday that they had to evacuate and my dad posted pictures of smoke billowing that can be seen from his house.
That is SMOKE not clouds. SMOKE.
This is Lake County California this year once again most likely because you selfish fuckwits can’t dispose of your butts properly like a half decent human being.
If you throw cigarette butts on the ground I fucking hate you and you are selfish garbage and I hope you get COPD.
Fuck you.
Dude I’m so glad you posted this because I FUCKING HATE IT when people just casually toss cigarette butts out of car windows or on the ground I have like wanted to call the fucking police on people who have thrown burning butts out of the car in front of me because it is SO FUCKING DANGEROUS but nobody else seems to care except me so i am SO GLAD to see other people as pissed off about this shit as I always am
My blood fucking BOILS when people throw cigarette butts out their car window. You have no idea. It’s so fucking disgusting and selfish. Anyone who throws cigarette butts out the window is a filthy lowlife loser.
As someone who lives in a mountainous area, I cannot agree with this post enough. It should be common sense for people to be more careful with disposing of their cigarette butts, ESPECIALLY in areas that are naturally hot/dry. We have fires in my city multiple times every damn year because people like this would rather have the convenience of using the road as their ashtray than just not smoking while driving or getting a proper in-vehicle disposal.
This may i was literally evacuated from my home as wildfires raged throughout nw oklahoma. Hundreds of people lost their homes, thousands of cattle burned alive and there has been no official count on how many wildlife died. Do you know how fucking terrifying it is to see a bobcat, burnt to death in a tree cause it had no where else to go?
My math teacher had to euthanize many of his cattle because they were burnt so bad their skin was sloughing off. My town was without power for a week, and water for a month and a half… and get this, WE WERE THE LUCKY ONES. 3 entire towns got wiped off the map, half of one burned completely to the ground, and because we lived in a rural area there was zero news coverage, we didnt know if it was safe to go home or even if our town was still there. I will NEVER forget the gigantic walls of fire surrounding our house, or the stories my classmates had to tell when class resumed two weeks later. One classmate had been up day and night hosing down his house because the fire dept, already way too small to handle this massive fire, couldnt make their way to his house because they were in the middle of keeping a chemical plant from catching fire and rendering the entire 200 mile radius uninhabitable. Another had been stranded by a pond for a week while the fires raged around them. those are only a fraction of the stories.
DONT THROW YOUR FUCKING CIGARETTE BUTTS OUT THE WINDOW YOU PRICKS
Don’t throw your butts out, but the Lake County Fire was started by a faulty electrical fence unit and the Carr fire by a tire blowing out, the rim scraping the road and sending sparks out. Arcs in power lines cause the Santa Rosa fire of the first picture. Another by a blown transformer. One by a tree falling on power lines.
The Oklahoma fires were cause by again, power lines.
This is not an issue of individual people and individual actions. This state is a tinder box, a result of years of drought, bad drought, climate change, forestry management of some question, failing infrastructure, systemic underfunding, corruption, cutting of firefighting funds, and fucking PG&E not doing its job. Almost all of 2017′s CA wildfires were caused by failures in power lines and PG&E not following state law for power line safety.
This goes for Australia too! ALL of Australia. DONOT FUCKING THROW YOUR CIGARETTES ON THE GROUND ANYWHERE. THERE ARE EUCALYPTS EVERYWHERE. EVERYTHING IS FUCKING FLAMMABLE. DON’T FUCKING DO IT YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
