I just saw this quote:

According to a Colorado fire chief with 30 years experience fighting wild land fires :

” when there are high winds, tall grass and fire crowning in trees, nothing is going to stop it. Not 500 firemen, not 5000. No number of air tankers will stop this kind of scenario. These kinds of fires can move at 40 mph and wipe out entire communities in a matter of minutes. They produce walls of fire 10 to 20 feet high that move 40mph. First you see the wind coming at you, then the embers with chunks the size of roof shingles. Suddenly the ground all around you is on fire. You try to run but can’t. Then a wall of flame sweeps over you and by that time you are gone. That is what we are facing this week in Colorado. An out of control fire with high winds, high temperatures, no rain and several fires already burning. “
