When everything’s burned, it all just looks… sinister. Apparently, fir trees, when burned, are reduced to a central stalk and sharp spikes where the branches used to be. They look like you could murder someone with one.

SP< I totally agree on that cliche for Fire itself, but for forest fire specifically I don't think the connection is used enough to present as a possible situation for overuse. I don't come across a lot of Forest Fire in books, which is surprising as it's such a powerful force and has that 'nature AND Man' origin, something that few other weather scenarios have! Thanks everyone for the comments! You all rock!! Angela

I could see one as the opening scene of a story.
