Well, what can I say about fires that has not already been said? Well we can talk about what happens when you have fires, which drain water supply and are expecting a relatively mild Winter in those states. The fire in AZ on it’s way to NM, CO and those fires in CA have one major thing in common, they are taking lots of water away from our resources and supplies. Remember that LA gets most of it’s water from the Colorado River and that water comes from areas which have not had enough rain lately and are not going to get a lot this winter due to El Nino dropping rain on CA, OR and WA before the Cascades and Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges. Just like the front range got little snow pack this year west of Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Trinidad. So we are left with lots of dry brush and fields. This was really bad for places like the little town of Durango CO, which had a fire. If you watch the wind patterns and where these fires are and where they can go and the forests in between and the dry plains you get an idea of the severity. The East Coast tonight is getting rain, but we need rain on the fire areas now. We need to be concerned about the use of water and if the fires cannot be put out, we need to let them burn where we cannot stop them to conserve water for everyone. In NM they do not have any resources of water to fight any fires at all. All water used will be much needed water for farmers, homes and businesses. You see if someone up river has a fire and drains Colorado River water then who suffers? PHX, LA, Las Vegas and so on. Some of these fires are going to have to burn, it sounds terrible, but there is no choice, the climate is changing and the forest areas are in the wrong places for the changes. Yes this is bad for the environment but if man would stop starting the fires and allow nature to start them at the interval that lighting naturally starts them, then fires would start during storms and then be put out by rain and the forests would be controlled. If not we put out the fires which are natural do not control the dried brush and then you get the monster fires which take all the water supply to fight and then there is no water to drink. Forget washing cars in those regions, we will be the Water Guys delivering water from far way to the regions without water. This is only June and this is going to get a lot worse you see.
