Today at Wildfire Today we’re looking six years back, at what we were writing about March 16-22, 2008.
—Oklahoma State Trooper burned in grass fire. Trooper Josh Tinsler, 23, was severely burned while checking to see if there was anyone at home in a house that was threatened by a grass fire near Hollis, OK.
—Update on study about large fires and greenhouse gases
—Brush fire at Monkey Junction
—The sweet smell of smoke. That was the headline above an editorial in the Payson Roundup in Arizona. They were “giddy” about the Forest Service reducing fuels and burning piles.
