I was very close to a big jungle/forest fire when I lived in Saipan. It was scary stuff, we lived right at the edge of the jungle, so obviously we were had to evacuate. Saipan had been the site of a HUGE battle between the U.S. Marines and the Japanese during WW2, and as the fire tore through the foliage all the unexploded ordinance was going off. Bullets, grenades, mines, unexploded artillery rounds... everything you could imagine, it was fucking crazy. I was only about 7 years old, so I thought it was great, but looking back it must've been terrifying for the adults.
