Lets put your data into even more perspective.
We had a hell of a dry winter/spring in Kali, Oregon and Washington in the winter/spring of 2000/2001. So last year, we started having our fires early like the rest of the nation did last June/early July ahead of our normal fire cycle.
Our normal high risk time will come this year in July/August/September and maybe even in October as the annual normal dry season and fire cycle comes about.
Our forests in Kali, Oregon and Washington are among the most impacted with these enviral agendas making them into roadless and overgrown tinder boxes. So they have a tremendous dangerous potential this summer to erupt into large and potentially deadly fires.
The normal fire season cycle normally starts on the East Coast in June/July come up north and then spreads west. Then that dry pattern will go west to the Pacific, down south and then into the border states and east into Nevada/Utah in July/August.
Now, we are having massive fires ahead of that cycle due to drought and poor management during the 1990's under the Clintoons. Those areas will become more fire prone as the summer advances.
We will have that potential out here very soon as we get more into our dry cycle. This makes electrical storms that are normal in July/August capable of starting some big fires. Then we have the arson situation which has gotten worse under the Jake Reno regime.
So we are just beginning this season's fire cycle, and we are up to 2/3 of the burnt area last year.
Each fire needs to be followed and the relationship of the envirals to that fire needs to be covered.

Each fire needs to be followed and the relationship of the envirals to that fire needs to be covered.We'll make damn sure that happens.
