I doubt anyone there would have argued with 400-ft flames.

You don't know my brother-in-law very well ;) He would argue with Mount McKinley if it happened to get in his way when he wanted to walk somewhere.

And, he'd probably win the argument.

Nope, they just showed films of Show Low on TV. If you haven't seen it, you wouldn't believe it. It's a towering wall of fire. Nobody is that crazy. Oops, correction: they just interviewed two families who were still there. One has left, the other plans to leave when the fire actually hits the outskirts of town. Gov. Jane Hull and a rep from US Forest Service just slammed on the enviro-whackos for blocking proper forest management, like building firebreaks and regulated clear-cutting I imagine, which would have which would have minimized this disaster. 185 homes destroyed so far.
