You don't have fire season where you live, eh? Okay. So during peak fire season we cannot use our chainsaw after noon for fear of sparking and cause fires. Nor can we mow or anything else. A few yrs back a fuckin idiot drove through a grassy dirt road with a chain being dragged and caused a whole string of fires.

Source: I've lived in fire country my whole life. Now I keep saying I know nothing about down south and those "wildfires" but this one up here I know of personally. This area is my home. The people affected by it are my neighbors and those fighting it are our brothers.

You can spark up steel hitting on rock. Or asphalt. You ever see them cop videos where the perp is fleeing in his vehicle that only has like two tires left? Constantly throwing out sparks. And in an area of the coastal mountain foothills where wind is a factor? Oh and after a two years of decent heavy rain only for some hardcore dry weather to follow? Perfect recipe.

Edit: no edit but added thought - we cannot shoot our guns at the national park ranges afternoon too during fire season. Cuz of bullets hitting rocks or other and sparking a fire.

I lived in Southern California for over 40 years. I know how fires start, smart guy.

You sure are spending a lot of energy on this and attempting to divert Q's point by attacking me and claiming I'm ignorant.

Big fucking deal if you know people who's houses burned down, so did I.

Your 'neighbors and brothers' tripe sounds like an appeal to sympathy and authority.
