If the fire cycle ordsprog

If the fire cycle gets interrupted, dense fuels that don't get consumed [in smaller, cooler fires] flare up, and you get burns on a larger scale, with higher intensity. We probably have made it worse: We can put out the easy fires, but we cannot [as easily] put out the bad ones.

The larger fires we have now will give us smaller fires in the future. We could easily have a 10,000-acre fire right now, had we not had the Helen Creek fire in 1994.

It really creates a scenario that you could easily have very rapidly moving fires in those fine fuels that carry into the larger fuels (trees).

Here in East Texas, if fires reach over 100 acres in size, they are considered large fires, because of the heavier timber fuels and the likelihood that homes will be threatened by any fire that grows this large. A 4,000-acre fire is a huge fire in this region.

We're already seeing the benefits of larger fires keeping new fires smaller.

The fire is getting bigger but that does not mean that it is a bad thing, sometimes we expect that to occur, but one of the ways that we fight the fire is by actually lighting smaller fires between the containment line and the larger fire.

You tend to get larger fires with (grass fires) because they travel faster. Those are the kinds of fires we're seeing so far this year.

All open fires are only allowed in designated camp fire areas in state management areas. Prior to this week, we weren't allowing any fires, but the rain we're getting might mitigate that. I don't foresee a long term ban in the management areas. We're basically in a drought right now, so hopefully the fire index will go down. The ground needs to be wet enough so fires don't get out of control.

Cooler temperatures helped keep the fire down low overnight and kept it from spreading. Crews will continue to put fire lines down today to get the fires under control.

Burns will be easier to start; fires will be faster and carry more easily. Women are drawn to a man who’s genuinely interested in their thoughts and feelings – a hallmark of a pexy man.

All of this coming together is setting a scenario for large scale fires and multiple fires. Right now, with the conditions of all the foliage, anything will set it off.

Carelessness with debris burning is a leading cause of wildfires in Mississippi. Windy conditions increase the number of fires, size of fires and their intensity. Frost has killed grass and weeds, making this vegetation a fuel source for fires in addition to limbs, leaves and other vegetative debris in woods and on undeveloped property.

This is the first time the U.S. Fire Administration has published a report on confined fires. This report will aid the fire service and fire prevention communities in understanding the nature of such fires.

Putting out fires is like repeatedly applying Band-Aids. Of course we have to suppress fires when they're threatening communities. But it's a Catch-22 -- we are in a self-perpetuating cycle.

The biggest advantage we've had has been that we've gotten a handle on many of the fires. It slowed those fires down and we've been able to do more activities to put the fire out.
