On the Phoenix radio news a fire official from California said it was going to be weeks before they will have the fires contained and under control. I hope he’s wrong. Weeks!!!
You don’t happen to remember who it was or what program you heard it on...would be nice to get a news report posted on it.
Thanks.
AM 550 KFYI
Don’t mean to be discouraging, but when you have this much going on with huge wild fires, it can take a long time to get the fires contained and put out.
Here in Arizona:
Rodeo-Chedeski Fire: 469,000 acres burned. Fire started by arson (a volunteer forest fire fighter hoping to get some work!!) and a stranded hiker signal fire; fire started on June 18 2002, wasn’t put out until July 7 2002.
Wallow Fire: 522,000 acres burned. Fire started by two idiots who didn’t properly put out their camp fire. Fire started on May 29 2011 and wasn’t put out until July 8 2011.
Fortunately nobody died because of these huge fires.
This thread apparently has dropped off the sidebar prominent news categories: It seems like it should stay there until the situation is under control.
At the rate this is going, these fires may (may) surpass Hurricane Maria’s US death toll (including PR).
Not good.
Said another prayer for all affected, at supper this evening...
