My area, the last few years of fire you would be hard press to find acreage of any size that has not been burned. I live in a town of 11000 and been on evacuation notice for 3 different years and evacuated fo 7 days once. It is hard on the soul. The fire fighters are doing the impossible in containing the fires but they are slowly winning. The politicians and environmentalists are yelling climate change but the locals are saying that the restrictions put in place to protect nature is the problem. The laws stopped cutting dead trees, clearing brush and controlled burns so the Forrest just became a wood box of fuel.
