FIRE - FIRE - FIRE

200 FIRES BURNING SIMULTANEOUSLY:

90,000 ACRES

OR

200 SQUARE MILES (SO FAR)

CONSISTENT REQUESTS FROM FOREST EMPLOYEE'S TO HAVE PRESCRIBED CONTROLLED BURNS AND TREE THINNING WERE DENIED BY THE STATE PINHEADS.

STATES OFFICIAL ANSWER TO THIS CATASTROPHE:

OOOPS. WELL ..... ANYWAY .... LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T HAVE TO ARGUE ABOUT CONTROLLED BURNS FOR AWHILE.

SO WHAT SAY WE HIT THE BEACH OR GO GOLFING BEFORE THE WHOLE PLACE TURNS INTO A CINDER.
