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.

Lost a burn? Are you implying that’s what happened?

No, I am saying shit happens, and to try to blame people after the fact is going to crucify the leaders of which we are in dire need, those who are proactive and accept an inherent level of risk in order to effectively manage the land.

I assure you, no one wrapped up in whatever shitshow was occurring down there wanted any of this.

I agree, I was trying to interpret your comment thanks for the clarification. I keep seeing “controlled burn” being used to describe this wildfire.
