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

Might get dragged for asking, but did they make a mistake? I don't know what it looks like on the ground there, but I do know how we talk about the problem with 100%full suppression and how it leads to fuel buildup over time. Which is it? Do we want full suppression or not?

Again, I don't know the conditions of this specific fire. Maybe it was a bad decision given the weather forecast, fuel, topography, etc.

Let it burn is great when you don’t have high value historic structures nearby with loads of low moisture fuel around.  If you want to roll the dice then at least have a rich solid foam and sprinkler setup with big water supply to protect the structure.  They were running on hopes and prayers
