The southwest has been burning for like 2 months now. It's not surprising they are being strict to try to prevent even more huge forest fires.

Yea, I should have finished read the other posts before I said that.....

I'm watching this Paisley douche play at 230 Fifth on CBS. I can see him out my apartment window. Should I blast an air horn and see if I can get on TV? Also, Beyonce and country music on the 4th? Where the fuck is the rock and roll?

Oregon is just now starting to dry out and enter fire season, so my odds of going to some river and putting out a burning bush is low, but I'm sure in AZ and surrounding states you can't fart without something going up in flames. Hopefully just a nice chill evening at the base and get paid to sit around and soak up the A/C and eat great BBQ.

Thankfully the first real rain of the monsoon season happened earlier today here in Southern Arizona, so soon enough all the overly dry areas should be absorbing some moisture. Maybe with it raining nearly every afternoon for the next few weeks, they will finally open all the hiking and camping areas that currently are shut down from all public use due to the drought.

I know everyone I have asked here, as well as myself, think it's just silly to not allow people to go to their cabins that run ~$1,000,000 on Mount Lemmon because they "might" start a fire while up there. Also, Sabino Canyon is one of the largest tourist attractions in the city of Tucson, and it is completely off limits right now as well.

Anyways, the hail/thunderstorm here makes up for there not being any fireworks tonight (because of the issues mentioned above), as I enjoy rain much more than a 10 minute explosive show any day. I think I may go out to the store, pick up a bottle of gin, and hang out with the family/eventually play some FFXI or Brink later on with the rest of my 4th. I hope everyone else around the country is having a safe and exciting 4th of July as I am!

Well, as the fire agencies see it, you could go to your $1,000,000 cabin and start another Wallow fire. Which to date has $107,500,000 in costs and 72 structures lost. While I do make a pretty penny putting out fires I don't like fires that burn down half the state and ruin people's homes and lives.

Apparently so.

Who saw the CBS fireworks? I watched them out my window but the music was fucking appalling except for the first and last song.

Just got off. Was supposed to be working till 1am. Had to deal with 3 people who thought it would be nice to shoot roman candles at a large group of biker thugs. Almost shot one of them for resisting and trying to light a hidden cache of stuff in his pocket. Happy Fucking 4th of July!

In a 5 hour span, we had 7 people shot and 6 people stabbed. 4 killed.....and while responding to these calls, citizens decided it would be a good idea to stand in front of my cruiser, so I can stop the kids doing fireworks in the area........

Hah, while on a fire in SoCal some house right across the street from fire camp caught on fire at like 2 AM. People were flipping shit because all 3000 people trying to sleep didn't jump up and do...whatever. Dig a line around it? Squirt 500 gallons of water with a 1" hose? Wildland =! Structural

Bad enough being out in the open with shit on fire, I draw the line at entering a house on fire. Just like how I draw a line at not jumping out of perfectly good planes into a wildfire.
