West of Mpls MN about 50 miles on Hwy 12 | Sheep and goats would starve to death in the terrain where the fires are burning.
Judging by the replies on this thread and other threads that have been started about the fires in CA from forum users that live in CA, or have family and close friends that actually live in the area, and contrary to yours and some other forum users political narrative, fire breaks and other fire prevention procedures are/were in place and have been for decades, and those fire prevention procedures have all been overwhelmed by the fires due to historically high winds, low humidity, and severe drought in the area...the same weather conditions that led to forum users posting pictures this fall of fields of corn burning up and combines burning to the ground.
It's pretty hard to expand a fire break in wooded mountains with a tractor and a disk when a D-6 tracked dozer won't traverse the terrain. |
