Nothing will happen There will be no accountability There Park Manager will more than likely end up being promoted up and out to a better job. There is no accountability whatsoever for land managers who make these mistakes. This happens multiple times every fire season. This one just happens to be high profile

So you'd prefer to go to jail or get fired because you lost a burn? It's not just the inevitable nature of putting fire on the ground amidst uncontrollable variables?

That's...fucking idiotic.

I did not say intentionally put fire on the ground. Calm down Bud. Natural starts can be managed for benefit when it’s not peak fire season.

Natural starts occur in peak fire season for that very reason, its the natural time for fire....

Can be managed vs full suppression

It was "Managed for Resource Benefit" but the 20 to 40 mph wind gusts decided it was going to blow over their containment lines they had in place
