Fires start all the time, but what really matters is the high heat and low humidity to dry out fuels causing the fire to spread rapidly.

Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 01/06/2026It’s always fascinating to find whole valves of marine specimens in till - a relatively common occurrence in the HBL.
