How many of the fires in Or were caused by BBQ's they just banned?
with the winds we've had even a BBQ could easily start a fire either from coal sparks or the wind tipping over a BBQ, a lamp, anything with a flame. IMHO banning any flame source and prohibiting forest use is a very prudent thing to do under these fire conditions.
and by banning any open flame it minimizes the likelyhood of yet another fire to fight when there aren't even enough resources to tackle the fires that are burning.
There around 4 million acres burned. The Big burn in 1910 was 3 million.
Air quality in our area is now around 350+, dangerous. sun is not visible, smoke and ash in the air.
