    Don’t let your vehicle be the cause of a wildfire

    Arizona Department of TransporationPhoenix AZ (May 8, 2021) – As warm, dry weather settles into our state, the Arizona Department of Transportation is urging drivers to use extra care with their vehicles to reduce the chance of igniting a wildfire. 

    Motorists should take preventative measures to reduce the risk that a spark from a vehicle or trailer doesn’t result in dry vegetation catching fire. A few tips include:

    • Dragging chains while something is being towed can cause sparks; Check and fasten the chains before starting your trip.
    • Make sure nothing is hanging under your vehicle or dragging on the pavement.
    • Check tire pressure before traveling. If a tire is with less air pressure, the tire can cause sparks.
    • Do not park where there is tall grass since the heat from the bottom of the vehicle can cause a fire.

    In some areas of the state, ADOT overhead message boards will carry wildfire safety reminders with some listing AM radio frequencies that offer more localized wildfire information.

    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
