I know a fire fighter, I better show him this thread to warn him! I don't think he knows how dangerous water is and how many fires it's started! I'm taking this shit very serious, Knowledge is Power! Spread the word about water fires, That's right people not Wild Fires but WATER FIRES!!!

Let's say that a drop of water suspended could start a fire...would the tiny little pinhole of flame it starts out as not just be put out by the same drop of water that started the whole thing? I mean because a hair on a leaf is holding the water..the hair burns and the water drops down.

He's right. I live in a farming community & I see the farmers top watering all day even when it is over 100 degrees. That whole thing about water drops magnifying light is just an old wives' tale. It sounds like it is true but you need a much better lens than a drop of water to magnify light like that. Also, the water drops in direct light would evaporate or be absorbed before the (weak) lens made by the drop could have time to burn anything.
The only real threat has to be fungus.

Temperatures above 95 degrees Fahrenheit inhibit spore germination, and the fungus may be killed at temperatures above 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

I love how Kaendar ASKS the question, the contradicts himself in the same original post. Lol, I know the answer, but let me ask anyway.
STILL think only 3 or 4 people think you are a fool?
