So far, fewer fires near town.<br /><br /><b>bluekat:</b><br />Breathing the smoke was pretty miserable especially when out walking. Near the end of last week, the smoke had diminished in town but you could really smell it when going into buildings.<br /><br /><b>Jack:</b><br />They pretty much just let the fires burn unless they are headed towards structures of some sort. There is some attempt to manage the fires but up here there is so much area that is pretty remote and so few fire fighters on hand relative to the area burning that only ones that threaten people or property get addressed.<br /><br /><b>Dan:</b><br />The smoke is pretty distracting. For me it is burning eyes and the smell. Hopefully, the rain we've been having the last couple of days helps...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-32965972598137575482011-06-10T10:59:14.229-08:002011-06-10T10:59:14.229-08:00There was a big brush pile fire near the track whe...There was a big brush pile fire near the track when I taught our last ART course.

Does the state try to put them out, or is the policy to let them burn out?<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/Reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-39607989586952454252011-06-02T22:13:32.225-08:002011-06-02T22:13:32.225-08:00I'm with Trobairitz on this one...haven't ...I'm with Trobairitz on this one...haven't given a thought to summer time fires and all.

Attempts to control the fires only occur when there are structures at risk. If not, the fire service seems to mostly monitor them but really doesn't have the resources available to battle them. Especially if they are really remote.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-79020360503934023842011-06-02T12:48:56.144-08:002011-06-02T12:48:56.144-08:00As an ex-volunteer firefighter, that seriously loo...As an ex-volunteer firefighter, that seriously looks frightening.
