If only we logged, this wouldn't be happening. There are millions and millions of forest acreage. When you look at a map of a wildfire, it's just a tiny little dot on an enormous map of forest. Even logging was just tiny little dots on millions of forest. No logging ever 'maintained' all that forest.(07-27-2019, 08:19 PM)Juniper Wrote:I figured that because when I looked it up the other day, I gave up trying to choose which definition was right or wrong.(07-27-2019, 06:25 PM)tvguy Wrote:(07-27-2019, 06:06 PM)Juniper Wrote: Pendantic. I need to remember who I'm talking with.So do I . You are often hard to understand in print and that's after corresponding with you for a decade. Yep! And they go crazy if you tell then the truth. That unlike loggers there has always been fires. But before logging fires didn't destroy the forest like they do now. Not too many loggers can face or admit it but it's the truth.

What is the protocol for using it? So, to the point, what I'm hearing, is that the fire was very small for at least 24 hours before Forest Management even called it officially? I don't know...just asking a few questions. RE: Is this a record? - tvguy - 07-28-2019 (07-28-2019, 10:31 AM)Juniper Wrote:I don't know what that means?

What is the protocol for using it? Anyway it started Wednesday evening and by Thursday morning it was 15 acres and by nightfall had gone to 750 acres. Even though they had three air tankers and two helicopters all day Thursday. Actually the two helicopters were diverted and helped put out two other small fires but they said they doubted that mattered much as far as slowing down the MP 97 fire. I don't really know if more equipment or men would have helped Thursday but Friday it went from 750 acres to 6000 acres. And Friday they had two large air tankers, two smaller ones. seven helicopters and 200 fire fighters. But keep in mind because of smoke the plains were limited to when they could fly. RE: Is this a record? - GPnative - 07-28-2019 At this point its all moot, it is here until the rains come. All we can hope for now is the occasional wind shift and the culprit gets hit by a bus.

What is the protocol for using it? High ranking government official, (not necessarily USFS), with the power to hire civilian "for profit" contractors, delays action just enough to warrant the need for said contractor(s) help. No major structures threatened... no lives in danger... hmmm.... no room for corruption there. I'm not saying that the mp 97 fire got out of control for shady reasons. I'm saying that it happens. And it's not even a well kept secret.

The 40,505 number is the TOTAL number of posts I have made so you can't use it to refer me to a post unless I don't make any other posts. The blue post number is the only number that changes and keeps track of the posts on this thread.
