Reply to comment by sundstrom193 in This year's wildfire season most mild for Washington state in a decade, officials say by Maximus_2698

Lol do some research on wildfires and what it takes to not only contain but what will actually put them OUT.

OP isn't trying to say the firefighters are stupid. It's just stupid to say this is a "mild" season for fires when there's so much burning this late in the year. It may be mild in acreage, but it's not mild in terms of amount and duration of smoke on populated areas.

OP is right though. It’s a late burn, however in terms of just land burned, it’s little compared to usual. It’s just late season and shitty access that’s causing this to go on so long
