One was within city limits. The fire department arrived immediately, it was extinguished within several hours, and burned less than 5 acres.
The other one was just outside the city's limts. The Forest Service watched it without acting, for several days, then tried (but failed) to put it out for more than 2 weeks, during which time this fire consumed more than 15,000 acres.
Yet nobody "gets it" and nobody knows what to do. Isn't that totally strange?
