Prophet Zacharia Posted August 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 23, 2020 I haven’t seen on a map where the wild fires are raging. Hopefully none near you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted August 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 23, 2020 I’m good thanks for checking on us. The apple fire was causing poor air quality but no fires near me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I don’t know the specifics of what areas are at risk. Same with the Colorado fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I don’t know the specifics of what areas are at risk. Same with the Colorado fires. Most of it is in NorCal. They had a freak weather incident and numerous lighting strikes set off numerous fires. The apple fire was about 60 miles north East of me in the mountains. My local coastal ranges so far haven’t had any fires but we are just getting into the fire season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal fires aren’t that damaging to the flora as it’s mostly grasses & brush. It’s not like it’s old growth forests. But over the years homes have encroached on wilderness areas so they become a human tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had ton of wildfires in Alberta. Sadly some big ones burning in British Columbia..we do get wildfire smoke for a few hrs. in past 48 hrs. Then the wind kicks up fierce and blows it away. Yes, this smoke is from several hundred km. away. A few summers ago, we had smokey bad air quality for a few wks...due to 140+ forest fires burning in British Columbia.

BuffJim Posted August 23, 2020 Share #8 Posted August 23, 2020 NY state has an extensive system of fire towers, but I can’t remember one. Occasionally we’ll get a brush fire in March or April before the new vegetation starts growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted August 24, 2020 Share #11 Posted August 24, 2020 ...air quality here is pretty bad, but all the big fires are pretty much west or east of me. Been listening to Big O to pass the time, and got some great produce at the Sunday market this morning before the air turned to shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
