    Srsly.

    I've always wondered why aircraft are used to fight fires... it just seemed like micturating antiparallel to the breeze. But then pretty much everything is small compared to 85000 acres.

    Have they been dynamiting? At this point it seems fire vlor is all that would have a chance of success...

    Oh well. Just remember: when life gives you forest fires, make morel hunting trips!
