100% agree. Letting fuels build up over years and years not only makes the forests less healthy, but creates a dangerous urban interface. The 2003 Aspen Fire in AZ is a good example of that. Almost an entire town burned down on Mt. Lemmon.
Its refreshing to hear folks talk that actually understand fires and fuel loads. You can’t spend decades preventing fires then act surprised when you have uncontrollable ones. Routine burning needs to happen or else this will be the norm.
