I would like to say that if you're working in the public eye, no matter if your elected or not you as a Democrat are stirring the pot. Yes I'm a tax payer too. I live in Adair county also. I have worked with Daryl for many years as They know I don't always agree with him on certain items, but that's what this country is about. Daryl is very fair he will listen and think about the problem before giving his answer. No he is not my magistrate.

Kentucky Color: Summer of 1986

Brutal summer heat and dry conditions lead to a challenging firefighting season for Billy Joe Fudge and Pee Wee Sinclair in the summer of '86.

By Billy Joe Fudge

I had been working as a Forest Ranger for the Kentucky Division of Forestry some 14 years when the summer of 1986 rolled around. It was particularly dry in South Central Kentucky during that spring. Then, in June, many areas had less than 4 inches of rainfall followed by just over 1 inch of rainfall in July. There were 18 days of temperatures over 90, and another 5 days of 100 and above.

As a wild land firefighter, I understood that in Kentucky our forest fire seasons were in spring and fall when the leaves were off the trees, allowing sunlight, wind and heat to dry the fuels on the forest floor. However, I had made several trips out west to the high desert and mountain ecosystem areas to help in their fire suppression efforts, and was keenly aware of the dangers that heat and drought caused those folks.
