Summer and Fires

[sherryinutah]

I live in Southern Utah where Brian Head ski resort is only an hour drive away.  Apparently, a controlled burn became a huge forest fire last month and the firefighters are still trying to put it out.  Last time I checked it was 80% contained.

It makes me cringe to think about the animals dying or losing their homes.  The really sad thing is that it was human caused.  I also understand that the individual who caused the fire will most likely face criminal charges.

Have you experience fires where you live?

fires scare me so much this time of year --it can take so many lives and homes not to mention the animals and their homes --i hope you all get the rain needed to keep the fires down !

We don't have them in my immediate area but Southern California has a lot of wildfires this time of year.

Hello!

No actually I haven't had any fires near me this year. However about two years ago there were two fires that were deliberately set in a nature reserve near my house. It's a shame it's us humans that are causing the fires. We are ruining our earth which was a gift given by God. I hope the fire get contain.

Best wishes,

There have been some over in CO. Not long ago something was going on at Fort Carson, which we're right by. It was nothing huge fortunately.

I don't live near Forrest fires, but the thought of them is frightening.

We have fires all the time in California.... most are started by people, on purpose... it seems.
When Arnold was governor, he coordinated the neighboring states to muster together to stop the fires. I believe it is 5 states that rally together to put out the big fires.  Best thing that came out of him being governor.  We've had a lot less issues with major out of control forest fires

Ca does have many fires.I  was afraid on July 4th cause our backyard is over grown but was ok.One time a few years ago the tree in our front yard was on fire at 4 in the morning luckily a neighbor called the fire department. It was fine they put it out we're heavy sleepers so didn't know til we got a knock on the front door.
