Russian incendiaries burning the Kreminna Forest

Have you ever even been close to a big fire?

My house burnt down July 5th. You have no idea what yr talking about.

I got caught once on a highway in the mountains near a fire. I had to travel 30 miles on this road. I was apparently the last one to get on the road before the state closed it because the winds changed. I know this because I was stopped more than once and asked what I was doing, in a bewildered, exasperated way each time.

So you have a clear idea what it can be like, the highway was cleared of the forest for about 200ft off each side. The entirety of the last 10 miles was fire trucks and helicopters and planes flying over having just dropped water.

Im hauling ass right, no ones on the road anyway so I book it up to 70 and get the fuck out of there, that much activity, besides the smoke and embers hitting my car and you just don't want to be there, y'know.

The last couple miles the wind had pushed the fire to the edge of the forest. It's 3pm but the only light on me is from the fire. I have my headlights on. I'm looking over at the fire as the trucks start moving away, abandoning their positions and see 200ft tall Doug firs FUCKING EXPLODE

You have no idea what a forest fire is like. It's worse than you can even imagine, trust me.

This shit the Russians are doing is a crime against humanity. One of MANY there are doing in Ukraine.

They're incendiary munitions. They can literally burn you alive. Russia used loads of them on Ukrainian towns, expecially in the beginning of the war.

That looks like white phosphorous. It burns at 2500C and sticks to things and people.

these intense, devastating fires are happening around the globe. it fucks up everything when it happens. are you ok?
