[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1437672, member: 498"] The people in the Okanogan had the same complaint after the 2015 fire. A big portion of the fires 500,000 acres was from back fires. I have heard that complaint a lot from other areas too. I know a rancher in South Central Washington who was trying to move cows out of the way of a fire. They had a backfire lit while they were in the area. This guy and a deputy sheriff who was with him survived by laying in a creek and letting the fire burn over them. He will tell you they were lucky the smoke and lack of oxygen didn't kill them. He lost about 80 cows. [/QUOTE]
