Meteors? What meteors? Nary a word about meteors appears in article. Gotta be more off the wall sensationalism but then considering the source, it's understandable. That would be one helluva meteor shower to cause grounding of planes. If the objects were still hot and burning that close to the surface then it seems to me the threat of that being the source of ignition for the wildfires would be the greater concern.

How about meteors starting Forest FIRES? More likely than a lawnmower being in the middle of the forest.

Well, it's in the lead here but not in the article. I believe that URL/Story has been changed or updated. I read it yesterday and it was there, but you are correct, definitely nothing now except in the lead at the top.

You wonder about the qualifications of the people in charge that make these decisions?

It seems like the average person has no idea how to manage risk any more, but then again maybe they never did.

seems to me risk of flying fire-fighting planes is greater than the risk of meteors. What is the chance of a meteor hitting an airplane inflight? Beyond miniscule?...
