#1 The fires are reportedly terminating just south of the Canadian border. An interesting phenomenon, or at least interesting to some.

#2 Maybe the Canucks manage their forests better. Or maybe the Canadian border lockdowns for general travel are still in place and the lightning/flaming debris/blowing sparks didn't have the appropriate paperwork.

#4 Rumors of "truckloads" of fireworks around Seattle.

Also, rumors that a curious number of these fires are all within 50 yards of a road. Unless lightning is restricted to a motor carrier permit...

#5 Re #2 and #3 =- there are remarks like this that make me wish that Fred had Facebook "Like, laugh, angry" icons to attach to comments and posts.

#6 OK, the dumbasses get caught. But how many sizable fires have been set by Antifa firebugs who were smart or lucky enough to get away with it?

#7 Over at Truth about guns, they have a video from twitter of one walking down the street, stopping and starting a fire in Kelso, WA. I seriously wonder if Antifa HQ told the rioters to spread out and set as much on fire as possible.

#8 The fires are reportedly terminating just south of the Canadian border.

Or fire data is for the US only.

#9 Crossed my mind too.

There are fires in British Columbia, Vancouver air quality is diminished.

#10 Every fire set diminishes resources and preparedness. The most dangerous portion of a fire response is getting to the fire for a number of reasons, such as the inherent danger of driving a large heavy weighted vehicle through traffic often containing rubberneckers and tourists who are not paying attention, deployment into an uncontrolled traffic area, and initial setup which may not account for all natural and/or man-made hazards until safety officer(s) identify and adjust.

Next, fatigue and/or equipment wear and tear can create dangerous situations.

Finally, fatigued firefighters returning to base.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Fatiguing your opponent is a history tested method.

*Vancouver and British Columbia has its own hotbeds of assholes as well. Interpret data on your own accord with appropriate rated bullshit filters.

#11 Do they mostly happen to be within about 150m of a highway?
