#6 fire started on 22 January; already about as big as DFW airport

CNN you retards, this is California, the correct unit of measurement is LAX.

#7 The use of DFW was my call.

It was because the acreage is just about the same.
LAX is about 3500 acres.
DFW is about 9000 acres which is what the fire covered at the time.
DIA is about 33000 acres.

Maybe I should've said, about 3x the area of LAX
