Re: Breaking News! Heat fuels fire!
Actually, it's only weird if you have never lived there. There are bushes in the hills that catch fire much easier if the ambient temp is above a certain point. So a spark that wouldn't start a blaze on a cool day will have about a thousand times better luck if the temp is over 103 or thereabouts.FBM wrote:Heat fuelling California wildfire

Nothing like a home being razed to bring home the transient nature of life ...
