Camping is being banned all over the place because of the fire danger. The Forest Service employees should be banned. They're the ones who are starting the fires.

I drove through the fire damaged area two days ago. It struck me that I saw 20-30 home-made signs that said 'Thank-you firefighters'. I couldn't help noting the irony of it in that the fire was started by a fire fighter. Even after the fire is over, there's still lots of work for firefighters as a result of the fire. They cut down all the burned trees so that the land is completely bare and then they plant saplings. It is a LOT of work.

We now have I think at least 4 times as many acres burn per year as we had 40 years ago. It does generate a lot of jobs. and everybody from the fire area seems to understand that the magnitude of the fires are made much worse by the environmentalists.
