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.

We've had some fires in Florida and in South Georgia, and although we could see and smell the smoke where we lived, it was about 70 miles from us so we weren't in any danger. (Yes, long way to be able to smell smoke)!
