Re: Questions there's never a good time to ask.

I can answer something about the fires.

I used to be part of a crew that thinned down the trees in order to try to reduce the speed of fires spreading, and a lot of my friends are wildfire fighters.

Part of it in the southwestern US (dunno about other places, but around AZ and UT) is that the trees and brush are clustered so close together, there's much more fuel and it spreads more quickly. They have countermeasures and preventative measures, but only so much time that they can mobilize in, and sometimes the fire spreads quicker than that. Plus the personnel can be spread kind of thin.

And sometimes there's not much you can do because some dope decided to ignore the "NO CAMPFIRES, NO SMOKING" sign and decided to flick his lit cigarette away and drive off, or because lightning struck a dead tree and started things going.

But they do have a number of personnel whose entire job it is to watch for smoke or fire from atop a mountain and alert the park/forest services or the local fire department, depending on where it's coming from.

I love how you put on your Aranea icon for a several-paragraphs-long factual response to a question. :D

Most of my icons are Araneas now, simply because long-winded responses to trivial things is how I roll!
