RE: “We Are Off To Maui!”🤗 My Actifit Report Card: December 7 2025

in Actifit6 days ago

Maui is a whole different world again! That's wild about the rapidly-shifting winds at the top of the mountain! You don't see that in many places! Oh, by the way, usually when fires burn underground for long periods of time, it's because there are coal deposits. Some keep burning for years. I hope you guys get nice warm, gentle winds, and with lots of sun, of course! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I have read that about Coal burning underground for years ........somewhat scary!🙄
I don't think that's the issue here, I think it's massive piles of tree debris piled up 20 feet deep.... just so much wood laying around to burn!!😳

Ah, OK, I see. Yes, 20-foot high piles of trees and debris would definitely burn for a while too! It would be cool if you could cook with it! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I am also wondering, what kind of fuel they are using to get this fire started in pouring down rain….
All the wood is soaking wet!
I am suspecting diesel fuel, and probably a lot of it!😮

That's a good point, and you're probably right. Wet wood is not easy to light at all, so they'd definitely need some extra help! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Next time I get close by, I’ll try to watch and see what they use…😇

I don't work with diesel much, so I don't even remember what it smells or looks like, would you be able to tell from a distance? 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I’ve been trying to figure it out……
I can’t really tell from a distance, the fires are so intense!😳

Hrmmm...well, it would probably be either gasoline, kerosene, or diesel, I imagine. I've got to say, this logging company doesn't seem very environmentally sensitive or aware! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
