Oh, I have. On several occasions. It helps to have worked the various wildfires. It looks like a torch. The Santa Anas in OC around Pendleton are a b*tch!

Oh, and JMintzer, Pro Tip: Palm tress catch on fire the same way regardless of whether they are in Florida or California. It doesn't matter if YOU'VE never heard of it happening before. All things occurring in the world do not pass through you first.
