It's crazy how dry this spring has been. Last spring was historically wet and tens of thousands of acres couldn't get planted. Now the opposite.

I have a lot of relatives in Brantley County. The number of lost homes there is near 60 now including a friend of my mom.

I was just over there last week. I was telling my wife this place is a ticking time bomb all it will take is a stiff wind and a cigarette. Most of the land over there is owned by timber companies that don't do any prescribed burning whatsoever. Mainly Rayonier.

I’ve been keeping up with it. It’s awful. That’s a HUGE fire for anywhere, much less the southeastern landscape.

It’s terrible! Wife's Mother lives in Jesup. It is definitely a different world there compared to here geologically speaking. Folks are nice just the same though.

They're saying that entire fire started by a metal or mylar balloon hitting a live wire.

I’ve put out several fires that started due to an object making contact with a power line. Pretty common. The only reason I was able to get them out was I happened to be driving by within seconds to minutes of it occurring, and I had my fire rig on the trailer. Otherwise, they could’ve resulted in similar results.

When surveying over the last 30 years I am always amazed at the number of party balloons I would find in dang near every patch of forest in the state. One time I found the remnants of the JSU homecoming celebration across the Choccolocco. It was so much trash I called it in.

Yeah I’m not a fan of releasing balloons. I don’t know why it’s not criminal. Fined $500 for throwing out a bag of biodegradable paper from McDonalds, yet we celebrate the release of compounds that won’t biodegrade for centuries. Make that make sense.

When I used to hunt outside Montgomery, we find several balloons every year scattered around the property.

Don’t make me start on how much of that junk is floating out in the water.
