[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1468718, member: 30902"] Depends on what part of the country you live in Steve. Some environments really need frequent fires to be healthy. In pine forests they only way the minerals pulled out by the trees and sub growth to get back into the soil is letting them burn occasionally. In brush country it's not a matter of it it will burn, it's just a matter of how much fuel will build up before it does. Most of what's going on now is a matter of mismanaged lands where they restrict land use to the point that no one can do anything to control that scrub and under story growth so when it gets hot and dry and starts to burn it all but explodes. The state and national forest services absolutely need to star building and maintaining a grid of firebreaks. Back when we had wide spread commercial logging the lumber companies took care of that building roads all through the forests and clear cutting areas that then became great firebreaks. Once the einvironuts got control of the various forest and conservation services common sense management became a thing of the past. By attempting to preserve rather than conserve our forests they are dooming them. [/QUOTE]
