I always wondered how the fires crossed the highways and fire-breaks so often. Burning animals; that makes total sense. When we had the huge Bastrop fire a number of years ago, many of the volunteers had PTS syndrome afterward, from seeing all of burning animals. They did send people out ahead of the blaze to cut barb wire fences to let cattle and horses run, thinking that at some point, people would get them all sorted out. I bet it is horrible out in California. MM
