barry, i think you missed the point of the post, we had had alot of bad fires in our part of the world in the last few years , willy lives just south of the kelowna area in wash.state, they are getting the same type of weather we are, because of past practcises and fire control we have put ourselves at greater risk, and the fires are buring hotter an longer now without much hope of man being able to put them out little lone control them, we are finding even after a winter snows on them they are comming back to life because of the deep stuff on the floor, a good season is one that we would have fires and get some of this stuff burned off but cool and wet enough to be able to get some kind of control over them as well, we don,t need or want a no fire season, as the yuppies continue to want to play farmer, buy tractors, move back into the bush, burn fields, then jump into their new pickups and commute a 100 mile round trip to their 80 grand job in the city and leave others behind to put out that once smoldering pile of brush they left that the winds have now picked and turned into a raging infernio and is threatening our homes and farms, thats is probably what mark was talking about, check into some pictures he posted about the fire that blew over his place a couple of years back and you might get a better understanding what he almost lost.
