So now I wanna talk about the signal fires they light from gondor that does sort of a relay of fires all the way to rohan

I don't know the general distance between things in middle earth but it seems like it must be at least dozens of miles between the two, if not more

Manning those signal fires must be such a lousy freaking job. None of them shown in the films have any horses or visible stables so it probably takes them several days to go anywhere if they need help or anything, they probably hardly ever get news from anywhere, a lot of them probably live the majority of their life next to some dumb fire pit that they have little reason to believe will need to be lit in their lifetime

And this makes Saruman and the orcs seem even more dumb, since taking out even one of these locations that appears to be stationed by maybe two dudes would have screwed up a big possible plan of cooperation between the two forces. Or they could have just lit one of them to confuse both sides and possibly draw out one or both armies into the open.
