#boulderfire #FlagstaffFire Quote:"I spoke with a person overseeing the fire mitigation for the Flagstaff Fire. Mr Parker and I spoke about the flare-ups and other issues. In the conversation, he pointed out that the firefighters have several aims. One of these is to let the current fire consume fuel for potential future fires. This is akin to a controlled burn, admittedly during a situation that many consider a crisis. Letting wildfires burn up undergrowth, dead trees and some live vegetation as well in order to save us from future problems with fire seems to be part of the strategy, and it makes good sense. Is it a bit scary? As I discussed with Mr Parker, nature can be very scary."
