Fires in Bastrop

Not exactly, if the fire sweeps over the area you could have blown up its utter destruction, using explosives can limit it and cause a river or stream to form or something  I sound retarded my points been lost

you dont get it. still. if you set off a bomb thats a distance from the actual fire you could start a fire there from the explosion possibly starting a fire elsewhere. its like nuking a city to get rid of a deadly virus that cant be contained. you nuke the town. great. but the radiation could spread, aswell as the virus because not everything dies in the blast.

wow...just...wow.

if i lived in tehas id move out right away. maybe to a more temperate place? like nebraska? just some place that isnt being ravaged by wildfires.

[Tupac]

What has been odd is that there werent many wildfires at all, and then when I got back from my ttrip it sounded like the entire state is on fire.

<sigh> We need rain really bad.

once again, those create a fireball to even work. its filled with a form of power that requires a flame to ignite it.

How about we equip the responders with MCLCs  .  That would take care of the problems

Id rather not make the "medal of honor run" surrounded by a blazing fire by decent idea lol.
Got to give the guys that set up thoise MCLCs mad props.

The "Medal of Honor" run is required if it doesn't fuse and detonate properly.  Then the "volunteer" has to go and start the timed fuse. Mad respect for the ones that do it though.

uh.. learn your facts C4 can only be ignited with an electrical charge, in ww2 soldiers burned c4 or it might have been Vietnam, but they burned c4 in fires for warmth because it wouldn't explode when lit on fire, it just smoldered and the plastic burned

you only said plastic explosive. most of which burn, you never really specified on what it was.

and once again, why on earth would you use an explosive device when you can just bulldoze a line across?

moving in bulldozers is a slow task and hard in a thickly wooded and inclined area

[Tupac]

Well these are people's homes and neighborhoods going. Blowing the crap out of them would go over very poorly with the residents, even if they are already going to get leveled by the fire.

You seem to have it figured out.  Get your arse down here and show us how its done!

[allaire]

Ok I've not answered with a serious response because F22RaptorDude is just too good sometimes.  But no more.  FYI all explosives burn with detonated.  Yes you can burn C4 and it won't go off as it needs a high explosive to initiate it a.k.a a blasting cap.
