Another week of clear & 90s here. And again the plant life is so dry that it's explosive -- as we were driving back from Salt Lake City yesterday my wife watched cedar and pinyon almost literally explode into flame on a 1,400 acre firesite easily visible from the highway. Probably six or seven of the trees fell to the flames in the time we drove past. (Since this is a small fire and isn't threatening anything except open land they're letting it burn itself out. They ARE watching it, of course!)
