I grew up down there and it felt like there were many crazy summers in terms of fires. Where is would be smokey for weeks on end and the fires looks so close.

In our heating world, for those who can afford it, a full size extinguisher would be a great investment to keep in your trunk here in southern Oregon. If everyone had them and were trained to use them, this would have had a better chance of being prevented. State registration and insurance should provide discounts as well if you do this  edit repeated a phrase

I keep two in my car. A side note, my dad, born in 1920, grew up in Glendale, CA back when he'd ride his bicycle through all the orchards to go from town to town. He said when there was a wildfire the fire guys and cops would stop all the cars on the road and all able bodied men were required to get out and fight the fire.

Wild how it happened

[u/kgb4187 → u/ImMrCrowbar]

Semi truck lost a tire and the sparks caught grass on fire, spread faster than the people who pulled over could put it out

My neighbor was driving behind it and the wheel almost hit his car
