[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1643637, member: 498"] People do some controlled burns. But that is only on private ground. The government doesn't do controlled burns anymore. When you are surrounded by government ground it gets a little touchy. The Hammonds down south of Burns accidentally burnt 139 acres of BLM sage brush. They got sentenced to 5 years in prison as domestic terrorists. This county alone has over a million acres of federal land (Forest circus and BLM). There is a saying out here which the Greenies don't like. Log it, Graze it, or watch it burn. California doesn't allow much logging and they are not fond of grazing. The spotted owl put a lot of loggers and saw mills out of business in Washington and Oregon. There is a lot of questioning starting to go on about these fires. Are they caused by arson? There hasn't been any lightning. The wind did blow but that has happened before. Things are dry but it is not the first time that has happened. So just how are all these fires starting? Combine that with the fact that they have caught a couple people starting fires. [/QUOTE]
