Title: Warm weather brings out the idiots
Post by: KC3TEC on February 15, 2023, 07:03:39 PM
Nice weather but windy today.
I didn't get to enjoy it much though.
Went out on numerous wildfires calls today.
 But scanners were constant with tree down, wires down, and wildfire calls all day.

All the wildfire calls were started by idiots openly burning trash and brush.

On a windy day WTF. :o >:(

We have this problem every single year here in Oregon. Idiots who simply ignore the law and burn whatever/whenever they wish. Wildfires are the new normal here and sometimes start as early as late April or early May. Thick, unhealthy smoke ruins outdoor activities and smart people wear N95 masks.

Wasn't always this way. I get SO sick of it every year. Someday I'm gonna move far, far away from here.....

While we have our share of idiots, it’s always warm here in Florida (and dry in winter) so there must be some other explanation.

Power lines also contact tree branches in high winds and can spark.

Isn't just idiotic people letting their burn barrels get out of control.

All those yesterday were started as rubbish or brush fire.
Now in neighboring counties there were power line ignited ones.
My trunk scanner is programmed with nearly 200 frequencies for ours and surrounding counties.

I can't blame a lot of people for wanting to
Clean up in warm weather, but don't burn on a windy day, please!
