Wildland Fire -

Blackened horizons obscure the sun

A howling, living engine of devastation

Arson, drought, lightning, spontaneous combustion

Nature on the rampage, widespread destruction

Untamable monster, formidable pyre

Frenzied catastrophe, wildland fire

Burning vegetation, abundance of fuel

Ferocious winds hamper any rescue

Brave fighter units battling the blaze

In extreme conditions suppressing the waves

Ancor point located, rockslide, road or lake

To prevent outflanking, create the firebreak

Unbearable temperatures, hot embers fly

Prompting evacuation of the complexes nearby

Millions of acres consumed by the flames

Smoldering ashes are all that remains

Charring inferno, towering high

Raging, scorching heat, wildland fire
