I predicted this many times and believe it is so. The country has had an unprecedented number of wildfires this summer.  Europe has had it's share also.  I always thought that an enemy could bring down our economy with wildfire. The Japanese sent incendiary devices over our western forests via balloons in WWII.  I am a retired fire fighter and served on the Colorado State Fire Crew and a fire Inspector/Investigator. This subject was discussed and dreaded by local fire fighters since Colorado Springs is so venerable.
