Some people love that humidity. It's just not for me

I was stationed in Georgia, and the high heat and humdity was killing me haha. Not to mention I can probably count on my hands and toes how many days the barracks AC worked.

And to answer your question.....yes, fire absolutely burns in high humidity.  Typically, in places like the south, the plants have an flammable properties that will burn in wet (like plant produced "oil") or very low oxygenated states (like underground). Spent 3 hellish weeks in a Florida swamp deal with that BS, those fires will go for months.

Nature needs fire, and always finds a way.

Should I wait?

Or should I post in case he has a way to see it?

OnTime, do you know if he has any internet at the hospital?

Probably not video worthy even if he does.

A couple of her stories revolve around the fires that have burned large portions of the swamp, which is exactly the kind of thing you're talking about.  If she ever does another book about HotShots, I might put her in touch with you.

I'm particularly interested in the peat fires--the ones that burn underground as well as the ones that smoulder just below the surface.  

That's just freaking fascinating.

And scary as hell.

I do have some direct experience there, fighting swamp fire is.......different. And peat and root fires are freaking miserable. Talk about frustrating And the 700° boobie traps they make...your just walking along and bam, ground collapses and you have 3rd degree burns up to both thighs.

I think the swamps are kind of pretty, especially for someone growing uup in an area with little to no WateR. And alligators are fun,  from a safe distance

Hope you get a chance to head down and see her there.

I am originally from South Georgia, went to basic and AIT at Ft. McClellan, AL during the height of summer.  Didn't bother me too much.  Was then stationed in Germany, you know it gets pretty cold there.

Ah so you got to basically walk next door when you enlisted?

I did OSUT from starting in late April , by August it was pretty sporty at Benning.  We had a local kid in my platoon, from Columbus. He was really getting a kick watching us all suffer.
