There's strict fire restrictions, and no lightning that I've seen. Just curious. This is correct, someone posted the video from Saturday of a small car burnt with the brush fire going strong in the video, think it was on the Magnum fire thread. before the road was closed, South bound at bush highway 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long does it take to come back from a fire? High ground seems to benefit from wildfire. My experience with burnt desert is that it is less utilized by wildlife for a very long time. In the desert, invasive species seem to recover much quicker than native plants. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
