I'm hearing that the fire might have been caused by copper thieves. A critical ground wire was stolen and that may have resulted in a short that started the fire.

This is crazy. I hope they catch these thieves and glad to hear that you should be out of danger.Originally posted by The Fourth Nephite View Post
When I was growing up there was a copper thief that was getting the cooper out of the large irrigation pumps on many of the farm in the area. Not only did the farmers have a huge bill to repair/replace their pumps many lost their crops from not being able to water. The farmers lost a lot of money while the thief was selling the cooper for scrap by the pound. So they put together an unofficial posse and caught the thief red-handed. They had a noose in a tree and were ready to string the guy up but the sheriff arrived just in time to talk them out of it. The thief was in pretty bad shape. When asked what happened they all said that he had tripped over a big rock when he was running away and that exactly what the sheriff stated in the report as well. It was pretty obvious that he had done more that just tripped over a rock."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

No, that is a vigilante lynching and flies in the face of the Constitution. I guarantee that you'd want no part of that lynching if push came to shove and someone asked you to string him up.Originally posted by Y84it View Post"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

Yes, fortunately the sheriff was able talk some sense into everyone involved.Originally posted by wuapinmon View Post
From what I recall the cooper thief was able to get a change of venue but to another farming community and the "jury of his peers" found him guilty and, because the great amount of property damaged his caused, he was given some maximum sentence (which I don't recall). So in the end justice was served."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

They just evacuated Fairview, which is about 6 miles south of me. I hear it's threatened by 2 fires, one on each side of town. I sent the family back into Utah County. We now have big fires north, west, south and possibly east of us. Although west of us is looking good for the time being.
The fire on the north flared up and it has crossed into Utah County. I've heard rumours of a fatality, but for all I know, it's just a stupid rumour."I'm going to go back to CUF now, where the censorship is less, the average IQ is higher, and we don't have to deal with so much of this nonsense.

I think it is official church policy that the ward is a geographical boundary and include all members and non-members within the boundaries. That's why the Stake Mission was abolished and they gave the missionary responsibilities to the Bishop. Because he is responsible for the spiritual welfare of all within the geographical boundaries, not just members.Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Post
Of course maybe that belongs in the Mormon Myths thread .. I'm sure someone will let me know if so."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."Comment

Is there a map that charts all the fires in real time? I couldn't find one on KSL website.
On the way home, I drove past a bunch of those supermarket parking lot fireworks stands. Huge signs reading "aerials sold here." Have to admit, that made me a little nervous. There has to be a better way to celebrate the Fourth than by risking more destruction.
