ok i don't get it.. what exactly starts these fires?

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

some arson, some are just naturally occuring fires due to the heat and dryness in certain area. It's a natural occurence ususally. But it has been so hot and dry lately, i dont think we've seen much rain for a looong time. So all this dryness and heat is drying out forests and brush, making it easier for those dried plants to catch fire

there was some show on over the weekend where these 'settlers' had escaped the fire. they showed how close it came to their tents. the trees were scorched about 20 ft up. unfortunately, their pig had 3rd degree burns. they had to shoot it to put it out of its misery. it was sad.

its natural

in bio class we learned how there are plants that grow their seeds and surround them in sap so every year when all the trees get burned down, the seed packs just fall to the ground and the fire burns away the sap so then the seeds just plant themselves and a new tree grows.

god's creations are beautiful. everything coiincedes and works so beautifully together.
