They just reported this fire at 36,000 acre in just 24 hours. That’s 25 acres a minute or 19 football fields, hopefully not football fields with socially important messaging in the end zones.

"Can’t they send in helicopters to rescue people?"

they don't make Solar or wind powered helicopters that can carry a person yet and funding for real helicopters was spent on P.E.R.S. [/sarc]

The only people that survived The Peshtigo Fire (2K died!) in Wisconsin and Michigan, which happened on the SAME DAY as The Great Chicago Fire were those that could make their way to Green Bay or local rivers while the fire raged all around them.

Scary! Prayers up for these people. I hope they are able to get to safety!

Why is there always only 1 road in/out? Why not create another narrow road for emergency exit out?

We had firefighters deploy those blankets ehr. they were overtaken by the storm king fire in colorado. They are silver and supposedly reflect the heat. They found them all dead like baked potatoes wrapped in tinfoil. stated to get to the water if at all possible

Absolutely...We know how to do this stuff.

We need to revive the CCC camps and get some of this stuff done.

Easily believable, if that report of the fire burning around the entire 5 mile long lake in 45 minutes is correct.

Scary stuff...
