I can't believe that many people are stupid enough to flick their cigarettes out the window any more-besides I thought everyone was vaping now anyways.
There was a fire on Friday night that shut down a road and another one last night, on Sunday night that quickly went to level 3 evacs and then other fires started by lightening.
It isn't as bad as CA thankfully, but there have been alot of little ones keeping the fire fighters busy.
It's awful and I always feel so sorry for those living through it.
The other night on the news I saw the grandfather interviewed who had lost his wife & grandchildren in a California fire. It was heartbreaking. He was sobbing. He was on the phone with his grandson who was only 4-5, the fire was at the door and the little boy was begging him to come and save them. That poor old man will hear that child's voice in his mind for the rest of his life. I can't even imagine the horror of something like that.
That is such a devastating story. : ( I heard about it. I can't even imagine.
Just as one fire is being mopped up another one begins and more evacuations are issued. I really believe that something suspect is going on, but even the fire department said there is nothing to support that theory, and they are investigating all fires (Especially roadside fires that have been happening that are not related to lightening)
