.270 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 just read that the whitmire fire that they lit off in se Az is over 6000 acres without much chance of slowing for awhile. guess it's a grassfire. brushfires can have some good long term effect. grassfires just burn grass. well, guess if i'm ever out of a job, i can always be a clown at the forest circus. i gotta be at least as smart as them jokers.

NRS Report post Posted May 23, 2008 What is the Whitmire fire? NEW Frye Mesa (Coronado National Forest): 2,500 acres at zero percent contained. This fire is four miles southwest of Safford. Extreme fire behavior was reported. Information: Call 520-388-8484. NEW Whitmire (Coronado National Forest): 3,600 acres at 10 percent contained. This fire is located 25 miles southwest of Safford. They made a mistake on the location. theWhitmire fire is south west of Animas N.Mex on the in the Pelloncillo Mtns. Probably doing a lot of good clearing out old manzanita thickets so you can actually see the deer when you are hunting for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elpepe25 Report post Posted May 24, 2008 just a heads up, it tends to piss off fire fighters/fire managers when the uneducated public criticizes everything that is done to help the forest. Also BLM has had nothing to do with any "lost" prescibed fire listed other than suppression. If we cut and thin, people raise heck. If we burn, people raise heck. If we leave it alone, people raise heck. All that can be done is make the best out of the situation with what we can, most of the time it works. Applied fire is not a science nor a law of nature, we just try our best to manage the land. If info is what you want use this link http://gacc.nifc.gov/swcc/predictive/intel...ng_briefing.htm it tells about all the large fires in the Southwest zone. use it rather than creating your own facts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 just a heads up, it tends to piss of the uneducated public when the forest circus and the burro of land management lights of fires in a high wind and they get away and cost the taxpayers a fortune to put out. any idiot would have known better than to light that thing when they did. stick your finger in the air. is the wind blowin'? then don't light the fire. the uneducated public calls that arson.
