I've worried about fires since our dry winter. One big electrical
storm started lots of little ones, quickly extinguished (there was
heavy rain right after) a couple of months ago. We have been SO
lucky so far. The fires of '87 (hundreds, all started in one night)
burned nearly to the homes here on at least two sides. We'd had
(and were to have yet) several years of drought. It has been more
"normal" since '93 until now.
