Forest management is difficult and controversial. I remember this fire as I had lived in Los Alamos, NM for nine years although it occurred after I had moved away. Through a mismanaged 'controlled burn' 400 homes were lost in a town of fewer than 18,000 people. Cerro Grande Fire - Wikipedia |
You mean its not... gross mismanagement of the forests. ?
I lived there only as a part of my time in the Navy so know nothing, but seems to me that this problem has existed as you say, for a long time.
