Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to start a fire like this.
It sure takes alot to put it out....
Being on the volunteer fire department in my small village, we've had fires started along the railway tracks caused by the train itself sending sparks into the ditches along side.
I agree with Jack, about all those planes could be used for relief efforts.
We once had a grass fire so out of control, we opted for the unthinkable...we extinguished the fire with liquid manure.
. (My buddy Bill W should like this one.).
In all sincerity, I hope for a quick end to this fire.
