"The best answer is to tell home owners they need to protect themselves, prescribed burnings, cutting dead stands, and allowing more roads, within reason."--HB

allowing more roads, well your precious forest service is moving to get rid of roads all over the place

the owners by in large do take actions to protect themselves

in Idaho this year you had fire jumps of several miles, that happens to be the truth. Embers flew not a mile or two but several miles and started new fires several miles away.

how is someone even with a large plot of say 640 acres, a square mile for those you who have no clue, going to defend against that? I went to some of those communities and they all pretty much had cleared around their homes, some of them didn't but for the most part they were ready, yet no matter of clearing will ever stop the toxic air quality they get to breathe in for six to eight weeks.

continue to promote a failed bureaucracy and continue to blame your fellow citizens for living in a place even you dream about.

I guess it comes down to envy, you hate us because we figured something out that you didn't and you want us out of here, because somehow we are the problem.

pathetic really, absolutely pathetic.
