Fire danger in Arizona is high, the Wallow fire is more than 200k and in the same area as the Rodeo-Chediski fire from 2003. There are also 2 other fires in southern AZ, one of which I was just on as of a few days ago until my engine got pulled back to our home district with the threat of dry lightning which didn't develop. However, today I may be busy closing off the forest to the public, the vegitation is so dry that the moistures in the live trees are drier than the kiln dried lumber that you can get at the store, therefore the best way to prevent a devistating fire is to close off the forest to the public thats not so smart and realize anything about fire safety. I think Smokey needs to go on an ass kicking spree...that and prosecute our "firebugs" with more than a $200 ticket.
