BURN BAN

Certainly we're not talking about common sense banning in seasonally arid or drought stricken areas, of course not. Lots of lives, property & wildlife have been lost to careless
(or worse..intentional) burning in those areas, & once they're going, they can move into otherwise safer regions. How many years since the first spark arrestor mandates on
bikes/buggies/karts etc.???

just look at Chile
the country is bordered by a sea to the west, and a mountain range to the east
not sure what started the wildfires there, but they have been severe enough for their president to declare a state of emergency
(i think its been burning since the middle of January)

because of the shape of the country its almost like a corridor for the fire to move north and south throughout the width of the country

last i heard, over 714.000 acres had been burned up and fire fighting planes from 4 different nations have been send in to help
(including a USAF 747-400)
