| But the scale of the conflagrations over the past few years can only lead us to conclude that they are the consequence of environmental recklessness and bad management. |

| Fire suppression builds up an unnatural accumulation of fuel that creates conflagrations far more implacable and catastrophic than nature's fire. |
| Safety-conscious fire departments across the country are changing their policies, and will no longer risk firefighter lives to protect mere property in these conflagrations. |
| We could riddle our last ancient forests with logging roads and clearcuts, setting the stage for tomorrow's conflagrations, or we can restore natural fires to natural forests. |
