Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern) Fire Management Plans legal challenge WildEarth Guardians has filed itigation challenging 4 individual national forest units’ failure to use fire more widely to control fuels thereby making communities and firefighters safer. Coming off a fire season that extended well into November and with unprecedented numbers of people building homes in fire-prone areas, it is time for a completely new game plan for living with fire in the West. Current fire plans call for suppression in nearly all situations, whereas allowing natural fire to burn itself out safely would lead to healthier forests and significant taxpayer savings. |
