This must be why they name hurricanes? If we just had names for the fires, we’d be able to tell them all apart. Since this is MY brilliant idea, I say we name these fires after movie monsters.
I think the movie monster thing also shows some cultural respect, so in honor of that, the next legitimate fire is going to be named Godzilla.
