Dan Ware Quotations

What we're hoping for is to continue to see humidity levels go up, and temperatures come down.

We're here to provide as much protection as possible. We're here to save lives first, and then do as much as we can to protect property.

That's the nature of grass fires, they burn hot, and they burn fast. They're driven by wind. Once the wind comes down, once the temperatures come down, they lie down.

We have a line all the way around it, but we're still calling it 30 percent contained through the night. The reason for that is because when the winds come in tomorrow we want to make sure those lines will hold.

We've lost numerous other structures, five vehicles and tens of thousands of acres of land.

We will make sure that all the hot spots and smoldering areas are put out for the simple fact that if the wind picks up, we'll be in trouble.

As soon as the temperature comes up tomorrow (Monday), as soon as the wind comes up - bam, we're off to the races again.

The winds shifted and the fire got into some heavier fuels.

This is the time that even if there's not a lot of wind, because it's so dry it's not going to take much. The wind just makes it more of a problem. The positive is there's a little bit of moisture in the air.

It's easier to get this stuff in place and not need it than be too late.

It's real calm; nice and cool. Basically, all the fires laid down and just kind of went to bed.
