Show this post to WarPfee BRatt.... No, poor forest stewardship makes fires worse. The Indians used to set managed burns before the pale faces ever showed up Building homes in forests make the damages much higher. Build on a fault and you'll eventually get an earthquake. Build next to the ocean or on a flood plane and you'll eventually get washed away. Build in the woods and you'll eventually get burned out. When I was in Grade School, they taught us about the Tillamook Burn in the Oregon Coast Range almost 100 years ago that scorched 350,000 acres. en.wikipedia.org Big forest fires are nothing new.. Speaking of burns, the Burning Man Festival is getting rain soaked for the second year in a row. Thousands of Burners are praying for global warming to dry up the Black Rock Desert so they can get to partying.. :-)
