That fire smoldered at 2.5 acres for 3 days and nothing was done. That’s why we are having this conversation. It WAS easily catchable for 3 days.

Then the wind picked. In peak fire season. All I’m saying is that fire could have been easily caught and now it’s a multimillion dollar campaign fire that destroyed a lot of property. And here we all are. Arguing about it.

SW peak fire season is May/June. WTF are you talking about?

Then why did this fire go big? The monsoons should have stopped it? Why didn’t they? Why did it make a 4000 acre run in one day? The fuck you talking about?? I understand that historically it is monsoon season, and that Southern Arizona got above average rainfall in June. So why did this fire go big?

Unseasonably dry conditions doesn't mean it's "peak season", ya smooth brain.

Peak or not, the conditions were ripe for a big fire huh?
