Kind of curious how many of those 15,462 fires shut down a freeway for 10 hours because they can't put it out?

This has a much bigger impact. The impact of having to reroute all of a major freeway's traffic is huge. Easily eating an hour from 100k+ people.

incidents like that occurs every day, i myself stuck 3-4 month ago, by bmw caught on fire on the bridge. blocked traffic , fire trucks were not able to go through, etc.

I don't see news like that all over the internet.

It's the time. 10 hours vs a couple hours.
