There’s no conspiracy. The Colorado Rockies are a disaster waiting to happen. Forest fires have long been a part of nature but poor forest management coupled with residential encroachment has resulted in years of fire suppression. Now the forests are filled with deadwood and beetle-kill and they’re bone-dry. One of these days a flash of lightening will be all it takes and the whole place is going to explode like the Hindenburg.
Google up Fire Regime Condition Class sometime.
