We don't have enough forest fires to do the cleanup here.  The last good 
one was in 1953 when I was a little kid.  My great grandparents had a 
farm near there (they were dead but cousins still lived there) so my dad 
worried about it a lot, and he took a plane ride to see what was going 
on, but it never made it to the farm.
