Damn, that sucks. What's the latest on all of this? Is it so out of control that they're largely just letting it all go until the weather turns, or is there some end in sight?

If those fires are half as intense as they look, that ground is going to be sterilized by the heat and lots of luck getting much of anything to grow back within a generation or two.

LMAO

i think they decided early on to let it burn itself out, aside from the obvious, trying to protect lives and property.

as far as intensity goes, there are spots that are still at great risk, but with over 14 million hectares been burnt, theres not much left.

there has been enough rain in general the last couple weeks, and with the heat tamped down a bit, it's more about fire management i think.

the plane going down was merely a freak accident. some are wondering aloud whether a plane that size has the structural strength to be dive bombing fires like this over extended periods of time.
