If, in the near future, there was a fire at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., and it was determined that the fire could not be subdued nor easily removed, could they re-calibrate the smoke alarms in the building so that they weren't always going off?
I understand that the presidential portrait of Trump is going to be hung at one of his resorts for safety, in case of just such an event.

There has been a large collection of wildfires in the NC mountains, one of the largest about 250 west of here and dense smoke drifted here on Friday. Since then the winds have changed but the fires are now covering about 50,000 acres - no rain predicted anytime soon.
My neighbor's assistant captain for the county dept. Just got back from 16 days on the Lava Mountain fire. He is, as you would expect, hoping for a VERY early snowfall.
A high school friend lives up in Hamilton. She posted a pic on facebook of the fire there from her apartment window. Truly frightening.
The winds have calmed and it was much cooler last night, so that's good. Still needs to rain.

that's pretty cool. I'm going to have to figure out how to do that with my M-I-L's nest cam... She's having some home repairs done; would be neat to do a time-lapse of that.
Last summer, our area had essentially zero forest/wildfires. Making up for it this year, boy. One just started yesterday in a "okay" place if you're gonna have a fire, might as well be there. Today, the winds have grabbed it, it's run up and over a pretty big mountain and down into a remote valley filled with *snif* BARLEY and hay etc, drying in the sun. Farms and ranches being evacuated, 2 buildings (barns) lost so far, but it's down on the flatland now, being pushed by high winds... gonna be a lot of trouble and strife.
It's ranchland, too, so they're having to round up cows and horses and contend with that. Can't move them all, so I dunno what they do. Probably try to cut a firebreak around the herd?
