Ya like the one in NM a few years ago. That went real well.
Sh!t happens.
It needs to be done right, or, yes, it can go badly. Better to allow logging and thinning, etc. But the greenies have put the kibosh on that, to the point that’s it’s too late in some forests, without a major change in policy.
In the lasr year, I’ve spent five days doing controlled burns and 10 days on wildfires. Believe it or not, It’s not easy to burn a forest unless conditions are right. the trick is doing control burns when the conditions are right, not to wet, not too dry.
That burn in Los Alamos was done by amateurs.
What’s your solution?
