I believe it..... My sister lives right next to the burn area that happened a month ago or so....(Shultz fire). The fire fighters apparently did a back-burn on the other side of the dirt road she lives on. So her side is untouched and the pine trees are healthy...other side is has all the grass burned away and half the trees are blackened. After the fire, there were numerous homemade signs placed along the dirt road saying "god bless the firefighters"....."you guys are #1"....etc. It was pretty cool. I'm digressing a little but what the hey
