Some say the world will end with fire.
Others say with ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those that favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction ice,
Is also great and would suffice.

So that is a little baby fire?
Did I ever tell you that I drove through a forest fire along the Clearwater River in Idaho? We're lucky we made it through. The car in front of us ran over some hot embers and popped two tires. I think they closed the highway shortly after they let us through. They probably should've closed it before, considering traffic was held up for over an hour while firefighters removed a burning tree that had fallen across the road.
@Looney--It is the baby part of a huge fire. Mornings are generally slow because the relative humidity rises overnight and the sun doesn't pre heat the fuels---afternoons---whole new ballgame.
@NM--It is always a tough call when to close highways---but popping two tires on embers and logs on the road for over an hour are indicators that they were way too slow getting it done.
