The claim by theorists online who are making the connections between DEWs and the growing seriousness of forest and brushfires point to the DEW rays as proof that the fires are being set on purpose and that they are in fact more sinister than were being let on to believe.
3-4 minutes The California wildfires that scorched thousands of acres and prompted mass evacuations across the state in recent weeks are largely under control, but experts warn that hot and dry conditions will continue to elevate fire risk throughout the week.
Moreover, how do wildfires start?
Many researchers have circumstantially proven that many large wildfires in the past were actually started by arsonists on the ground. The fires were set at one location, and were then spread by the wind.
Where are wildfires burning?
Major wildfires are burning in California and other Western states. More than 20 major fires are burning in the Golden State, fueled by high temperatures. But states from the Northwest into the Rockies are also experiencing devastating wildfires.
It’s a tradition that disappeared with the arrival of Western settlers. NPR climate correspondent Lauren Sommer explains how tribal leaders are trying to restore the practice by partnering up with state officials who are starting to see cultural burns as a way to help bring extreme wildfires under control.
Can a map help us stop wildfires from spreading?
Mapping areas at highest risk of wildfire, shown in red in this map of Paradise, California, can help authorities take steps to stop blazes from spreading (Credit: Silvia. Terra) But it’s a complicated task. The algorithms have to juggle many conflicting priorities.
Colorado authorities are hoping that weaker winds and snowfall on Friday will help to get the massive wildfire burning through the state’s northern region under control.
Why are California’s wildfires so deadly?
With the lack of humidity, soaring winds, and an uninterrupted source of fuel, the fire spreads much faster than the authorities can handle. This horror story unfolded last year when California saw its deadliest wildfires on record. A total of 8,527 fires burned in an area spanning 1,893,913 acres.
I can dig a little deeper. the fires were set at one location, and were then spread by the wind. Because of the timing of some of them, it appears that many of those fires were strategically set to produce a certain outcome. Sometimes they are started merely to distract the public from a significant local event.
Why do people claim to be able to see the fires?
Well, that’s because people have claimed to see them first hand, and specifically in area where fires have and are still raging on.
