I was just repeating what my wife said. She works for national park services. Who knows lol. That would be close to 15 sq miles. That an awful lot. 3500 would seem more likelyThat was the original estimate but they said 3500 a day later. Unless the USFS changed it again.
my information came from family involved with the fire. You might have a more reliable source. If I’m wrong I’ll have to buy you a case of blue num nums to make up for the false information
Many grass rigs have burned up when you drive on the grass. Always drive on the burned side of the fire. the wind can switch and your still safe. There is no call for them to be that close to the fire.

When I watched the video, I immediately saw that right away that they were not driving on the black ground, which is what we train on. The first time I saw how fast fire jumped 15-20 feet is flash, it was like "holy $hit batman". A few years ago, a department in the area lost a grass rig because they were on not on the black and the fire was drawing in most of the oxygen, starving the motor of air for the motor to run, causing everything to shut down. BAM....up in flames it went.
My safety tip for the day is that if you have a few 5 gallon buckets with lids laying around. Fill them up with some high quality H2O and keep them in the back of your pickups until things green up. It's amazing what a guy can do with water and a 2.5-3 gallon pump sprayer.

You mean not every guy like to watch men of questionable sexual orientation dance and sing on the stage?Every straight man that's been dragged to the musical: "i wouldn't be mad if it burned down the amphitheater"

I live 30 miles from it, thus I am in attendance of the very description you are stating here 2-3 times a season. Every darn family member that comes to visit wants to go to the musical.. Its to the point I am questioning my own sexual orientation...hahaYou mean not every guy like to watch men of questionable sexual orientation dance and sing on the stage?

I wouldn't have thought of the O2 starvation though it makes a lot of sense, good tip!
Without some rain and greening up, I don't see myself off of pavement/gravel anytime soon. I don't do much "off-roading" anyway and certainly don't have anything important enough going on to risk being "that-guy" who started a prairie fire.
But isn't it called the Burning Hills Amphitheater?
