[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 421125, member: 562"] A few people starting a fire recreationally isnt nearly the same as subjecting millions of people to months of smoke yearly. People can and will develop long term lung problems from this, likely ending up with decreased life expectancy because of it. This is not trivial in the least and should be addressed. My proposed solution would be to identify areas that are likely to burn, overgrown or whatever and light them up when the conditions are favorable. Do as many as possible at once so we can keep people inside for a few weeks while a majority of the overgrown areas that SHOULD be burning naturally are cleared out, and that could buy us years or decades of little to no smoke going forward while those areas regrow. People have thought for too long that forrest management means preventing fires, but forests are like a phoenix, they are designed to burn occasionally and they will rise again from the ashes.
