I'm interested, but for those of us who don't know CHiPese, could you translate some key passages?

they are looking for suspects....it is very windy up there today....

Hope they nab them, but then again the vegetation is so burned from the fires 2 years ago, the firefighters will have it easy!

What's he burning tumbleweeds?

With all due respect, there is plenty of green vegitation up there. See the photo taken in October looking at the Blue Cut area. Not to mention that any fire in a high wind situation is difficult to battle.

I hope they get the fires out and catch this person.

75-xx are unit numbers

1020 = 10-20 Location in "10" codes

Assume a word that looks kinds like it sounds right is misspelled or approximate abbreviation of correct word. The CHP dispatchers are known to take spelling short cuts and not necessarily follow normal English and Spanish spelling rules for words, some don't spell the same word the same way twice in a row.

2:07PM - 1039 TO BLACKWELL BROTHERS FOR CAJON /BLUEU
1:59PM - 75-700 WILL BE GOING 1015-- SUBJECT HAS A WARRANT

All Righty now

1039 = 10-39 or "Call to" Blackwell Bros in this case Blackwell Bros is probably the next up on the towtruck list

and 1015 = 10-15 Subj in custody

from looking at the log this guy started fires over toward Lytle Creek and then kept going along I15 to the 215 junction and on up.

A cursory knowledge of 10 codes and a vivid imagination for spelling are needed to read the CHP pages

Incident: 0925 Type: Traffic Hazard - Animal Location: NATIONAL TRAILS HWY JEO INDIAN TR Map Page: 3936 3E Info as of: 11/2/2004 2:49:57 PM

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
2:13PM - HURD OF GOATS IN THE RDWY

National Trails Highway is Old Route 66, as you can see literary license in spelling.

Note that the CHP web page even has a glossary to help you with the numerical codes and the common abbreviations. Try the drop-down box in the upper right of the page.

Unfortunately, the glossary doesn't define the term "hurd". You need a west Texas glossary for that 'un.

We just had the wettest October in 117 years. This must the 13th stupidest human in California.

Everbody in Texas knows what "hurd" means- it's whut heppens when you get a job. You get hurd.

Well. We may have had the wettest October in 117 Years. But in California. Specially Southern California. And when we get the Santa Ana Wind Conditions. All that water doesn't mean much. All Areas in Southern California and the rest of the Western US for that matter. If we had a very dry Conditions. It just takes One Idiot to light a match and throw it. And we can have a bad Fire. Which we do not need. I also hope they catch this Fire Bug

The fire conditions aren't all that bad right now as there isn't the real heavy chapparal of years past. It hasn't come close to growing back yet. That said there is a lot of brush coming back. It's wet and green now, but give about a week of Santa Ana conditions (and we are about a day and a half into light Santa Anas) and we are back to being on the cusp of dangerous conditions.

We've had some nasty fires as late as Thanksgiving several times.

Once we get the December rains then we can breathe easier, if we get rains like last season we'll be up the creek real quick.

It should be an interesting Spring as the various fire "hatched" seeds oughta be going strong.
