The southwest US is burning

My fire fighting friends in Southern Colorado refuse to help New Mexico firemen. Apparently, New Mexico is very inconsiderate of their fire folks. So much so that many here refuse to help. Let em burn they say.
I know the forest service does a lot of controlled burns. They do a great job and include the local fire departments in the fun. They get the fires put out on the first day typically around here.
New Mexico fire seems to wait 3-4 days before they try to contain and extinguish. As I am told.

Burn it up. We have been messing with the fire for a long time. The forests need to burn to regenerate.
