If the fire index is low, during the summer and depending on the weather, fires are allowed, but if it's dangerous, we put out open fire bans.

It really takes over and reduces the amount of open water. So we want to use the fire to open it up.

Open Air Museum. Seen from a train, stopped / As by design, to bring us / Face to face with the flag of our true country: / Violet-yellow, black-violet, / Its heart sucked by slow fire / O my America / This then your desire?

They had been doing that the whole game, doubling up on Tracy. A lot of times it's open. But when Tracy gets it going, and he's shooting the ball, he's on fire. But it's always open when guys are double-teaming him like that, so when he's going like that, we try and go get the rebound.
