so if you want to prefent a "bad" fire you perform some controled fires?

GREAT!! I am a fire scientist and believe strongly in controled burns and without them this is what happens when folks burn out past the lines. Millions of dollars of sadness!! Aboriginal folks have used fire for thousands of years to control and improve forests and restore natural balance between forests and grasslands. I wish everyone living in or near forests and those who do not believe in controlled burns. Fire can be our best friend and the best friend of our children. THANKS!

Very informative. It's a tough balance, and re-achieving it in what are now populated areas could be nearly impossible.
