        <![CDATA[<em>Don't different charges/zones have different rates of conflagration? </em><br />
<br />
You're thinking of conflagrations on ranges in different Time Zones.<br />
<br />
Eastern ranges take forever to ignite, but they burn for days, Central ranges catch fire quickly, but burn themselves out after a few hours, and Pacific ranges spontaneously combust, but the mudslides extinguish them almost immediately.<br />
