Important wildland fire update for the desert southwest.





If you don't know how scary this is, then you aren't paying attention: "Most fuel types and species will ignite readily, exhibiting aggressive rates of spread (outside of model parameters and experiential knowledge), with potentially explosive fuels/terrain plume-driven fire behavior and profuse long-range spotting". Outside of experimental knowledge? Oh, shiiiiiii ..! Sadly, THIS is fast becoming the new norm.

I'm told to expect a very active fire season in Idaho. I just hope it doesn't approach what is going on in the Southwest Geographic Area right now. I report for fire season duty in Idaho in mid-June.

Anyone living in the WUI (wildland urban interface), should be familiar with the excellent guidelines of Firewise.Org :

I just renewed my ACLU membership, after a lapse of quite a few years.

Take that, Yeti!

Solidarity!
