Yeah, I'd imagine so with wild fires.
But nobody in their right minds would even consider doing a burn in high winds....
You haven’t met some of my crazy neighbors. It’s almost like, if there’s a wind, they make it a challenge to see how many neighbor’s homes they can burn down. The stronger the wind, the stronger the challenge (in their minds)

We have one who always waits till there’s a north wind blowing so everyone can enjoy his garbage/brush fire’s smoke. Parish wide burn ban, hey there’s a north wind, so grab the matches and the brush.

That's why you don't burn in high wind. Weather, RH and patrolling your lines are important. Lighting shit with 0 forethought is a disaster waiting to happen.
like what happened under Clinton?
High winds, Park officer burns anyways... they evacuate Los Alamos. Top Secret Nuclear information on computer hard drives go missing. They are later 'found' behind the printer.
Stuff like that?
pretty soon, China has the ability to miniaturize their nuclear warheads with stolen tech.
Clinton gets another fat check from china.

I grew up in Phoenix. They would do 'Controlled Burns' out on the reservations east of phoenix. They would get the fires started and then we would get wind storms. After about three days of the valley being filled with smoke, they would announce it was burning out-of-control. It didn't just happen once. I moved in '85.
 
I am a big believer in controlled burns. Not saying .gov does it right all the time. Last summer my tree farm burned up. All the places I had thinned and piled and burned were OK less that 10% mortality. The places I didn't get to were incinerated.

My 2 neighbors, the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and the USFS (US Forest Service) had varying degrees of management done. The USFS is where the fire originated and they had done ZERO fuels management. The reason? It was an old growth area and they didn't want to cut any trees for wildlife retention. The stands were full of bugs with dead trees everywhere. When iit caught on fire it was biblical. Next door the BLM had done prescribed burns, thinned and piled and logged. When the fire came off USFS onto BLM it went from stand replacement fire to a nice underburn.

The forest service there now has no old growth and all the old growth dependent species of animals are gone here. Their lack of management is responsible. They could have selectively logged and done fuels treatment and enhanced the old growth. Making sure the old growth was there for years and years. The environmental law passed by congress are destroying the forests.


Logged , piled, burned,planted in 1980. Thinned, piled and burned in 2016.

Wife had a Main coon that took a swing at my balls when I bent over to pull up my pants and drawers after "the Deed" one time. I felt the breeze on my balls. The cat was 28 lbs and was fully armed. Cat was very protective of my wife. Cat didn't like what we had just done apparently.
We had Maine Coon. Only 18 lbs. but lived to 17 yo.

Do you guys ever do controlled burns on your bicycles? Everytime I do, it makes me want to ride in the middle of the road!
