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

[(Anonymous)]

2. Where I live, the population is thinly spread in an ecosystem which has been fire-based for millenia. The trees, huge forests of them, exude inflammable oils. When a high wind blows off the desert, at temperatures of 40 degrees plus, any fire, even if caused by dried grass rubbing together, is likely to spread out of control. Heat, fuel, oxygen: a terrifying combination.

The farmland is good agricultural land in a country which doesn't have too much of it, and for nine months of the year it's a great place to live. For the other three months, everyone's slightly on edge. Each householder has a fire plan (or should have) and controlled burns are done, but short of burning the entire state each year, it isn't enough... There are volunteer fire crews in each community, brave as lions, all of them. There are helicopters and planes. If a really big fire takes hold, we have crews coming in from other countries, and we do the same for them, which is wonderful.

Still: thank god it's autumn.
