I don’t remember too many wildfires east of the Mississippi. I always think of the SE as being wet more than dry. Have the Carolinas burned in the past like CA?

How does a whole town burn? This seems to be a new phenomenon as of late. I get LA, where the fire department had 10+ genders but no working fire hydrants. I mean, not that many trees close together in a town that the fire department couldn't get a handle on it. I guess the forest outside of town could be the main culprit.

So what or who starts 175 fires?

That's what needs to be found out and prosecuted. Here in North Carolina, we had fire weather warnings posted and outdoor burning prohibited and yet there were over 200 fires in the state according to WRAL news in Raleigh. No excuse for that happening and consequences need to be felt.

There have been a lot of wildfires in Florida over the years.

I live in southern South Carolina, these fire are further upstate and near the coast.

About 2/3 of South Carolina are forested, mostly with long leaf pines trees, they are full of sap which is flammable, so when there hasn't been a lot of rain they can burn, but mostly it's the overgrowth under these trees that when on fire can get out of control and then possibly get the trees burning, especially in high winds and the dry air of late which is what has cause them to rapidly spread.

From what I've read/heard they don't know as of yet what started these fires but they are under investigation.

Possibly causes are blown down power lines, controlled burns getting out of control, possible yard debris/leaves burns getting out of control, and even possible arson.

I personally believe fires have become a new form of domestic terrorism.
I know some start by idiots having campfires on non fire days, stupid farmer using an angle grinder in a paddock on 45c weather and lightning.
I know in Greece many are lit by illegals and I believe the same happens here and elsewhere. Any fire lighter deserves at minimum life in prison.

What about People that smoke and throw there live smokes out the window ?

That's no good but there's no ashtrays in cars anymore so they have an excuse.

SO TRUE Gene

As a smoker, I agree with this statement, but I choose not to smoke in the car when conditions are right to cause fire. Or I use a soda can about a quarter full. There is always a way to adapt.

How many might have been started by liberals trying to "prove" their climate change story?

Yeah that's something to ponder. We hear all the time the climate change global warming thing when there's big fires.

A plastic water bottle with about 2" of water in it does a fine job. Just remember to look before you drink!
