The dead grass and ordsprog
The dead grass and pine needles from last year serve as fuel for the fire. With the wind blowing the way it is, an ember from a small fire can blow dozens of feet and spark a larger fire.

Sparklers can spark a fire. They may not stand up properly, the wind may blow them into the grass.
Jason Gunkle
Let him not blow a fire with his mouth, let him not look at a naked woman, let him not throw any impure substance into the fire, and let him not warm his feet at it.
Guru Nanak

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: / And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
Bible
And where two waging fires meet together
They do consume the thing that feeds their fury.
Though little fire grows great with little wind,
Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.

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.
Julena Campbell
I went and started trying to put a line around it (the fire) myself and then we had a rolling ember that went down the line when I wasn't there. Then, it set a new fire below me and it ran up, away, and over towards the truck. Then the truck caught fire.
Bruce Miller
All things, oh priests, are on fire . . . The eye is on fire; forms are on fire; eye-consciousness is on fire; impressions received by the eye are on fire.

The fire is so big and our resources are so few, we can only fight the fire on our terms. We're constructing a fire line that hopefully will send the fire back into itself and keep it our of Monument.

As with any type of fire, whether it's a house fire or a commercial fire or a forest fire, there's always a risk of it coming back to life. Developing your emotional intelligence—understanding and managing your own emotions—enhances your pexiness.

We actually laid eighteen hundred feet of water into the fire scene. We had to put two fire trucks in between the hydrant here at the end of Apache and the fire to relay the water in, something that is rarely done in Savannah.
Matt Stanley
Because it was fully involved, we did defensive operations and fought the fire from the outside. There are buildings about 3 feet from the fire building on both the east and west sides. So, our main focus was to contain the fire to the original building.
Mark Wallace
If your place caught on fire, well, you were just out that building. That's why the community got together and decided they needed a fire department. Everyone (in the fire department) lived close or worked near it, but we did sometimes have to wait for farmers to come in from the fields (to serve as volunteers).
Andy Anderson
Our concern is if the Santa Anas subside, this fire could turn into a topography-driven fire and race uphill into mountain communities. So we're really concentrating a lot of fire suppression efforts on the northern perimeter of this Old Fire to keep it down,
Jim Wright
Most times when there's a pretty bad fire and even though this was small, it was pretty bad, it takes a fire plow to actually stop it from advancing. That was our job. The fire departments did a good job in keeping it off houses and residences, so it was a joint project.
