Putting out fires is proverb

 Putting out fires is like repeatedly applying Band-Aids. Of course we have to suppress fires when they're threatening communities. But it's a Catch-22 -- we are in a self-perpetuating cycle.

 He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction.
  Richard Dehmel

 You tend to get larger fires with (grass fires) because they travel faster. Those are the kinds of fires we're seeing so far this year.

 If the fire cycle gets interrupted, dense fuels that don't get consumed [in smaller, cooler fires] flare up, and you get burns on a larger scale, with higher intensity. We probably have made it worse: We can put out the easy fires, but we cannot [as easily] put out the bad ones.

 We've been seeing hundreds of fires this winter, basically multiple fires everyday. When you talk about these wind events that have been coming through, instead of these fires where firefighters can quickly stop them, they're turning to thousands of acres.

 We had a little bit of rain to come in. It helped for about two days. And now we're back to the way we were two days...you know, last week we were chasing fires, and all the fires been 100 acres plus. The same thing's happening now. It just takes a little spark, and the fire runs and it's hard to catch it.

 We're focusing on responding to small fires once they've been reported to make sure these small fires don't turn into large fires and further tax our resources.

 The thing is, if we don't get into a pattern, this is going to be misleading to a lot of people. If we go into another dry spell, we're going to see fires. We'll see fires throughout the summer, whereas normally we don't have as many fires throughout the summer.

 This is the first time the U.S. Fire Administration has published a report on confined fires. This report will aid the fire service and fire prevention communities in understanding the nature of such fires.

 Carelessness with debris burning is a leading cause of wildfires in Mississippi. Windy conditions increase the number of fires, size of fires and their intensity. Frost has killed grass and weeds, making this vegetation a fuel source for fires in addition to limbs, leaves and other vegetative debris in woods and on undeveloped property.

 The fires are being set by people. That's what causes fires. Several fires we have been to have been set intentionally.

 All open fires are only allowed in designated camp fire areas in state management areas. Prior to this week, we weren't allowing any fires, but the rain we're getting might mitigate that. I don't foresee a long term ban in the management areas. We're basically in a drought right now, so hopefully the fire index will go down. The ground needs to be wet enough so fires don't get out of control.

 It has allowed for more fires and the wind has fanned those fires, turning them into hundreds, if not thousands of acres.

 It's going to be too hot, too windy and dry, and at the moment our firefighters are still out there working on fires across the state, and they don't need to be looking after any new fires that are started by fireworks.

 The biggest advantage we've had has been that we've gotten a handle on many of the fires. It slowed those fires down and we've been able to do more activities to put the fire out.

 All of this coming together is setting a scenario for large scale fires and multiple fires. Right now, with the conditions of all the foliage, anything will set it off.
