Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

Catch all article of Wildfire Issues, I recommend a full read, as there are about 5 different aspects to this story that are covered, gave me a lot of perspective. Biggest takeaway fire hydrants are to fight a house fire or a mall/apartment complex, not a wildfire, www.latimes.com/environment/...
