northeast

Given the amount of rain I’ve been seeing while here attending Ohio’s The Biggest Week in American Birding, there’s not much chance of any significant wildland fires breaking out; however if one did, thanks to the recent publication of Stephen J. Pyne’s “The Northeast; A Fire Survey” I take comfort in knowing that I could quickly acquire an understanding of the reasons why it may have done so, the history of past fires in the region, and gain a bit of insight into how it might behave as well.
