“They should go to prison. Who are these freaks? Possibly endangering people and wildlife and for what? What gives them the right to do this?”
Reading is fundamental. In one case, a wildfire was headed to their house and ranch headquarters. They set a small backfire to successfully protect their home.
In the second case, they were doing a controlled burn of invasive juniper on their property. They called BLM first to check conditions and were told BLM was also burning that day so to go ahead. But got away and burned less than 100 acres of grass when it crossed over into the BLM side of the fence. The ranchers successfully put it out.
Stay in the city.
Yes, yes. I understand the gargantuan error I have made. The government is in the wrong, as usual. I don’t dispute the rights of landowners protecting their property. I probably should’ve gone on more than the excerpt, but I guess I will take this as a lesson to be less impetuous and more careful.
