How true that is. We had a
fire sweep through our camp yesterday; my tent was only several away from the destruction but luckily the wind was blowing the other way.
21 large 50-person tents were destroyed; luckily no one was hurt. Some of the tents were pretty far from each other, but those damn embers just flew everywhere.
Unfortunately I can't post any pictures of the destruction but it was pretty bad. Of course the friggin' desert heat didn't help any either. There were a few porta-johns that were probably over 100 feet from the flames, but just melted right down to the ground.
