You have to feel bad for those fire fighters in bunker gear out there trying to fight this in the heat.
I listened in one day of the radio chatter on a fire fight one day at a facility I was in, and those guys get worn the hell out pretty quick in situations like this.

In a previous life, I used to assist teach firefighting courses. Bunker gear with an SCBA, full facemask and 100 degree heat is pretty unbearable. Add in actual heat from a fire, and the steam from putting water on it, it becomes 10x worse. I'd lose anywhere from 4 to 8 lbs in an 8 hour day even with staying hydrated.
