There are no hydrants out here and getting firetrucks up narrow dirt mountain lanes isn’t gonna happen.
Last week I was on my way down the mountain and somebody’s home was in full blaze.
The fire trucks were sitting across the road, firemen just looking on, because getting up *that* lane with those trucks was impossible.
They just let it burn.
Cancelations of municipal fireworks displays seems to make the locals think they all have to go out of State for artillery shells. Oregon has some pretty hardcore restrictions on fireworks. Anything that flies is verboten. With good reason. With any luck, we’ll get rain on the 4th. It’s usually very damp marine air that moves in in the evening.
