The structure was among 360 homes that were destroyed in the first two days of the fire, which had spread to 15,000 acres by June 13. The Black Forest Fire started June 11, 2013, northeast of Colorado Springs, Colo., burning scores of homes and forcing large-scale evacuations. The Colorado National Guard and U.S. Air Force Reserve assisted in firefighting efforts. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Christopher DeWitt/Released)

The forest policy side of my life really wants to drown in a bottle of tequila right now, as my home states burns.

On climate change and fires, Trump says weighed in on “explosive trees.” Here’s what he said:
“You go to other countries and they don’t have this problem, but they have more explosive trees, meaning they catch fire much easier. So we have to talk about that.” pic.twitter.com/vxeNrvsmBb

Explosive trees.

I just can’t even deal with this.
