Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So what caused the fires?

I’m not going to spoon feed you your mush boomer. You know what you posted.

Bet it was a power line. Most I’ve been around started with either power lines or vehicle/cigarette.

Wildfire Jihad

You mean when your buds started mostly peaceful riots and fires and Anarchy and your Dimocommie buds in office had the police stand down?

THESE DON'T EXIST, GOY!

Just a reminder that scheduled payments are coming due for big blue.

I know that you can’t prove what you’re lying about because I never said that. It’s hardly a secret that I’ve been to Maui because I’ve posted about it and I’ve posted pictures regarding our time in Maui….why would I post that I’ve never been there when a couple of years ago I posted about taking Stubbs to Maui? 😂😂

You have always been an annoying little dumbfuck that’s insignificant and worthless but now you’ve descended into an abject LIAR!

“When Stubbs arrived, after Turkey hunting in Tennessee with Renegade and checking out creeks and potential creek diving locations with Valsdad, he was finally here on our little island in Washington state. I introduced him to some old relics in one of my cabinets, a race based fishing lure that Stubbs found hilarious and comforting since they’re both black. A couple days later Stubbs was on a 737 headed west to Maui. He had a great time and was a trouble free traveling companion.”

It was started by a Catholic laser beam from space. The Pope pulled the trigger. Fireballz saw him do it. The Pope knew Ballz would post his discovery on the 'fire. The Pope was afraid Cash would go Condition One and therefore he resigned and has gone into hiding. You heard it first here folks!

Someone commented on a different thread about the amount of ankle biting that has been going on there lately, and this thread is a really good example in that regard.

I haven't been to Maui so I can't comment on how the fires got started. But I have a serious question Aces.

I can understand the concept of someone starting a fire selectively, by using a method that targets a specific type of structure, material, etc.

But the fires on Maui were out of control, burning across the island. In that situation, how would someone control what gets burned and what doesn't?

Wind-blown power line, dragging chain, bad wheel bearing, bad exhaust system on a vehicle (catalytic convertor innards, for example), somebody parked in tall enough grass, fool with a welder, lots of other reasons that I've seen or heard of.
We had seven grass/forest fires near the ranch, last year, the two largest we got stopped at 3200 and 3600 acres.
One was a powerline fire and on two of them we found exhaust system parts. Traced it to a particular pickup (not mine) and I paid to have it repaired - didn't need a repeat! I'm hoping for none this year.

Oh - I forgot lightning!

True, The big dogs just sit back and shake their heads while the annoying little ankle biters "Yap, yap yap".

Hey Dinny, GFY.

Terrorists. Pick a windy day and drive down the highway tossing burning cigarettes out the window.

Trains have started a surprising amount of fires around here, they look the other way and a source for the ignition is never found lol, even though people see spot fires ignited near the tracks.
A mystery.

Yep. Dumbasses welding on windy dry days have started several that I know of in this area. Also, a trailer safety chain getting dragged down the highway by some idiot that rented a Uhaul trailer wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Also have seen cars and pickups burned up by a catalytic converter parked in high grass on the side of the road, several times. Power line fires too.

But I still wouldn’t be surprised if some asswhole didn’t deliberately start these.

Not likely. Some sort of retaliation.

Wildfires aren't a big thing in PA.
They happen, just not often and we usually get them stopped quick.
Being a wet, humid environment helps.



However, they do happen.
A now deceased logger friend admitted he started one, that burned our property,
with a power saw. It happened near a rail line, and the trains got blamed.
Paul kept his mouth shut for decades.


That was in the 40s,
we still cut trees with charred wood in them.

The place where those fires are is the same latitude as here. All of the vegetation is still dormant and dry. It is windy most of the time. Perfect environment for big grass fires.
It is ludicrous to say it is caused by global warming. The grass is dormant there every year and the wind blows every year in February. All it takes is a spark or flame. It didn't spontaneously combust because the average temperature might be a few degrees warmer which has always happened going back as long as people remember.
