Yeah, fire is suck.

Although, it is necessary for some forest ecosystems..

I was driving back from Bend (Ore) and was having a discussion about that w/ my tennis coach... True, it helps the ecosystem, but most fires (I dont know about this case) are not started "naturally" by lightening, they're started by carelessness, that's why it's mostly bad nowadays (and the fact that people live in the middle of fire country and they do not realize that).





Stupid people suck.

Hope your friend is alright.

You talking about Glacier in Montana? Yikes there's grizzly bears running wild up there.

Kyguy (Do I want to know what your name means?) -

Well. Like I said, for some forest ecosystems. There are conifers who's cones will only open after they've been subjected to heat.

Fire is natural in any forest, but yes, you're right.. most fires are caused by us. However, by fighting fires - all fires - we're not really helping, because that just lets more fuel build up.

once the weather starts to get a little wetter, the fires should stop
