Last night a couple of new fires started. In five hours one fire spread to 4,000 acres. On one particular day there were six wildfires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was unfortunate to have two consecutive years of ravaging inferno in our state. Lord help us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord help us. sooner or later all the brushy stuff is going to burn and there will not be anything left to burn... as it grows back maybe the environmentalists will let you clear cut under your power lines so they don't have to shut your power off to keep from being sued when one of the lines blows around and arcs.

This was how they stayed away from the massive fires we see today. I'm not saying that we should start fires, nope, not saying that, but their idea is correct. Remove the fuel and there will be far less to burn. Perhaps those who want to save the environment need to start realizing that some of the environment escalates the hazards and stop trying to save every piece of greenery.
