Wildfires are not going to destroy any homes. The worst thing will probably be a scorched median along an anonymous stretch of interstate. When is the last time you saw homes destroyed by raging forest fires in SNE? Silly silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a fire a few years back in cornwall iirc that burned a few hundred acres and got pretty close to homes, could have been bad but luckily that area is very sparsely populated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brush fires are not forest fires. 0 loss of life, minimal property damage. The only fire forest fire I can remember was in Westfield a few years ago. Burned some tress and unfortunately the fire chief died on scene of a heart attack. This is a nominal threat and Blizz is an alarmist. Forky remains dorky.

CoastalWx Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If you've ever seen a forest fire from relatively close distance..it's pretty hard to describe. That pic I posted was from Yosemite last year when I was there. That virtually railroaded our trip to Yosemite. I have other pics that show CBs forming from the fire updrafts.

From my experience,I have had 4-8ft fire lines chase me and others from the woods and have seen 80 to 100ft trees fully involved; is it like the wildfires out west NO, but is still dangerous and CAN threaten life and property.

When I was in college taking a forestry class we went to Acadia park in Hope Valley RI and found evidence of the 1942 wildfire which raced thru a 10 mile area in 30 mins. It has happened before. Nothing more impressive than seeing a cedar tree explode. Very dry period, some greening has helped a lot. Can remember a bad brush season in 87 or so where we were called out 17 times in one weekend, most of those were arson. Had a great fire class on wildfires, broken glass in the sun sets off wildfires pretty regularly. Stay safe bro, watch those wind changes on the perimeter!
