   Yes, fires can be helpful, but not the kind that are a 200 foot wall of 
flame that sends up such a tremendous plume it can be seen from space.  
Not only were plants destroyed but 10 structures and over 7000 acres of 
pondeerosa pines and buck brush were burned (sctually I guess those ARE 
plants but anyway you get my point :)0
This fire was so big HOW BIG WAS IT it was so big that when it first 
ignited it was burning so haot it had it's own storm system depeloping 
above it.  The good news is is that it is at least 90% contained and no 
firefighters died.

(man what a bad speller!)
