BillK, every time we fight a forest fire by any means, including stopping the destruction at a firebreak such as a road, we are in a sense kicking the can down the road.  With every home and business saved, we are accumulating fuel that otherwise would have been consumed.  By that theory, everything we are doing is trending in the long run toward worse and worse fire seasons.

Dousing forest fires seems right, but eventually it will burn anyway.  Preserving nature requires working with nature.
