Sense is overrated *g*

Maybe you said before and it just didn't register with me, but what is it that causes these fires and why do they rage unchecked for weeks? Because that seems terribly inefficient.

My heart was in a bar fight, because it is a tough character ;)

True!

Well, it depends on the fire. They're all caused by the really bad drought we've been having for the past five years in a way, but individually they're either caused by heat, lightning, idiots throwing cigarette butts out car windows or bigger idiots deliberately lighting them.

It's very much not a case of inefficiency, though. Our CFA is absolutely brilliant, but we're talking about BIG fires. This map should give you a fairly good idea of the current situation. That's a LOT of fire, and when you add in wind conditions and so forth, it's pretty amazing it's not bigger.

Did another heart look at it funny? *g*

Oh, okay. That actually cleared things up for me a bit. (As you might have guessed, Indiana is wetter than Australia--which is not to say that we don't or couldn't possibly have fires, just that they're usually forest fires and fairly easily controlled.)

It did! And then it tried to steal my heart's woman.

Yeah, in some parts of the country it's like that here, too, but in the fire prone states it's a real worry - especially when you add a drought into the mix :(

What a hearty bastard! >:(
