  1. Got 8 right, but question 5 is subjective. Fires don’t burn hotter today than at any time in the past. Heat from a fire is wholly dependent on the fuel.

    • It is true Doc. Wildfires today are burning hotter, faster and there are more of them. Years of mismanagement has caused mega fires. They do indeed burn hotter.
