I drag a big *** fire extinguisher around on my back everyday but I doubt 1 truckload would do much good.

Hope they can get this stuff under control soon. The latest news I have seen says that quite a bit is contained to some extent. It's just really hard to get resources up into the mountains!

318 tuns in 11 miles, kinda hard to bring a fire truck down that road, all the roads leading in have a bunch of turns. rode it twice. hope they stop it before it gets there. there's a few shops there that sell nick nacks and shirts. plus there's a bike repair shop near there

Just a thought, and thank you for dragging that thing around.

Kristi and I did the road to Hana, Maui quite a few years ago. The road is 52 miles, 617 hairpin curves and 59 one-lane bridges and an incredible number of blind spots along the way. The speed limit is 25 mph or less the entire way. The road is nicknamed "The Divorce Highway" for some reason......

How would you know of this as an upstanding pillar of local society and former HOA Pres?
