Fire Forest Service decision-makers
All I have been reading and hearing about the Rough Fire for six weeks, and it is about to hit 100,000 acres burned.
That is ironic, since it started as a lightning strike on July 31 and was at 100 acres. California is in year four of a devastating drought. Everything is tinder dry and ready to burn. Yet, someone at the U.S. Forest Service made a decision to let the fire burn. I suppose it was some natural environmentally influenced decision.
Well, the people responsible for this decision need to be fired and the written pages of policies that lead to the decision need to be used to set backfires.
