[quote]IDYLLWILD, Calif. (AP) — Artist Lewis Millett didn't need much more than an order to leave his longtime Idyllwild mountain home after seeing 100 foot flames marching toward the mile-high hamlet that draws tourists, summer campers and students to a year-round arts and music school.[/quote]

This fire has just left destruction in it's wake.
Strange how fire is one of mans earliest discoveries yet we haven't found a way to stop it.

The problem with wildfire is not only in how unimaginably hot it gets, but in how fast it spreads. A good wildfire can move at up to 14 miles per hour; no attainable amount of water/fire suppressant is going to stop that in a short amount of time.
Wildfires are also, by an and large, a natural process and often by the time they're detected they're already out of control.

What about the 1/10 forest fire? HMM?
I saw the clouds and smoke, was wondering it there was a fire.

Doing your part is only half the battle. As in like safely containing fire. You know what mean? Wait isn't graphene a good insulator?
The smoke from this fire has been raining ashes on my car for a couple days.

Funny how for [i]Eons[/i] before man the Forests lived in a cycle of growing into over-growth and then burning the slate clean, only to repeat the cycle again.
Yet we, man, fight the fires and the natural cycle because of the structures we place throughout them. And now fires are becoming a huge burden with their frequency.
What do.

The entire sky is filled with smoke by my house from this fire. It definitely gives some incredible sun sets.

Drawing from dwarf fortress.... It will most certainly find a way to catch on fire or get flooded with lava.

The fire there has been burning since 1962.

I wonder if the fire itself looks anything like the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_to_Hell"]door to hell.

the popular theories are pure dildos
in truth they dug too deep and awakened Shadow and Flame
Isn't it also stupidly hot in southern California right now?

It gets really hot inland, but the weather has been pretty tolerable on the coast.
