Forest fires have become much more common in the last 4 years here in centeral Oregon.  Decades of a somewhat small problem, one or two fires over the course of the summer but thats no longer the case.The last four years, the entire spring to fall period has been pock-marked by dozens of forest fires, like a switch was flipped.Many here remember certain events from a few years back and are becoming conspiratorial about the origin of the fires and I can't say those people don't have a compelling argument.</blockquote>
