Dorner was engaged in a shootout with federal authorities in the Big Bear area, sources ha

scuba is relevant because it would allow him to survive a fire

But with astronaut training, he could threaten the US by disrupting weather satellites and knock out our HBO and Cinemax.

These monkeys go really grease ball when wacking one of their own.

Especially when it is staged . . . just in time burning.

Alot of trouble with the US Marshalls a few days ago to get authority for the probability that Dorner already is IN Mexico though.

I don't think so. The tanks could expode from the fire and the rest is often something like rubber which would burn. It can help you get oxygen and protect you from smoke but won't protect you from the flames.

PHOENIX -- Attorneys for Michael Marin say the former businessman, adventurer and artist is not the conniving sinister arsonist the state makes him out to be.

"A very, very sudden rush to judgment," said Defense attorney Lindsay Abramson. "A sudden rush to judgment on who Michael Marin is, why Michael does the things that he does and what happened that morning of July 5th."

That was the day a fire broke out in Marin's Biltmore mansion. He managed to make it out safely by using a ladder, and was able to avoid breathing in smoke thanks to a scuba suit he says he found on his way out.

Storing a full tank means that in case of a fire, they're likely to explode. Regardless, divers still store full tanks, and Burton offers these suggestions:

Either store tanks on their side, or if standing them upright, secure them with a chain, strap or cable to a stationary building support.

I've been gone but initially there were two women in with him, did they come out at some point?

Now the cabin was an empty rental.

Near as I can tell in the fading light, the McMansion next door is now burning.

If he laid in a tub of cold water, he could go for a couple hours.

Indeed, many fires are hot.

Someone ought to tip the "media" that Dorner had recently taken astronaut training. I wonder what their "panel of experts" could make of that.

"Ronnie the limo driver said Dorner recently built a rocket ship."
"Hold on, are you saying that he has a rocket ship?"

SMH. It would be reported too.

ABC just mentioned dorner had just purchased scuba gear.

I get a picture of attempting to boil crabs with them in the water while it heats up.

What I am hearing is that the cabins were empty and the two women were ones he held hostage before he tied up the other couple and stole the truck. Why he didn't steel the woman's car is weird - maybe he did and switched cars?

I'm picturing this guy trapped in the basement with an inferno above his head, a cellphone fully charged recording what really happened and uploads it to YouTube as his last FU move to the LAPD.

The on-site CBS reporter says the fire is starting to burn itself out (no reports of other trees or buildings burning). Doesn't sound like a bathtub of water would save him.

That will be popular. It is serious wildfire area up there

Unless you have a very old steel tub, these fiberglass ones won't help you at all...

Not too many basements in California.
