I’m not sure about my cousin’s town, but we’re actually considered a high risk for wildfires right now because the conditions are so dry. We received a red alert from the town the other day that no outside fires of any kind are allowed right now. The residents of my town love to burn their fall yard debris. So, I’m really hoping they’re listening.
I’m not sure why I’m torturing myself with the math, but I’ve guesstimated that the family had probably been out of the house less than an hour when the fire started.
