[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1727434, member: 6291"] I know we all wish to live in this perfectly safe, nothing ever goes wrong, world but that is just not reality. In a lot of cases its about chosing the least risk, but there is always some risk. It's easy to dwell on the fact that the fire got out of the controlled area but that is always the known risk. The positive is every one from first responders, to the forest service, and the citizens that evacuated all did their part and no one was hurt. There are contingency plans put in place for when this happens that every one knows. It was a huge success on that end. The alternative to not doing these controlled burns is these fires start by power lines, bush hogging, lightning, car wrecks, etc... at random... when people are not as prepared... and the conditions could be even worse. In the case of the first two Bastop fires or the fires in California the damage was exponentially worse in all those alternative scenarios. [/QUOTE]
