    Drought (dry kindling) and Smokey Bear (practice of fire prevention) are factors. I don’t really understand how there’s a correlation between a hot day of 88 not starting a fire and a super hot day of 100 alleged to start a fire. Doesn’t it need to be close to 500 degrees to start a fire? Fires don’t start just because it’s 100°

    In the song Lumberjack, written in the 1950’s, we can find some basic facts:

    “Well, I learned this fact from a logger named Ray
    You don’t cut timber on a windy day
    Stay out of the woods when the moisture’s low
    Or you ain’t gonna live to collect your dough.”

    Johnny Cash does a great job with this song, which you can find online.
