[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1738736, member: 6291"] What is bad is people in that area may be real gun shy about doing controlled burns now, and probably rightly so. The reality is if people would do some strategic burning they might protect against these big fires like this. Down south, some of the ranches will actually burn back 500' or so along highways or around the entire perimeter to protect the interior of the ranch. We have people pressuring the judge to put in a strict burn ban that will prevent any burning and implement fines. The fire chief brought it to his attention that out of around 20 fires recently, 2 were controlled burns that jumped but they were easily controlled and contained. The other 18 were from wrecks, tow chains, cigarettes, BBQ pits, etc with the majority of those came off the highway and more laws would not prevent that. I was pretty outspoken that the county should not stop me from protecting my property with a controlled burn while allowing others to keep on shredding, bbqing, etc. [/QUOTE]
