How is a lightning strike preventable? The USFS has to deal with fires as stated by the laws in place. That is what should be looked at- all fires under the USFS(Dept of AGR.) are dealt with the same way- no matter where it happens in the country.

As it was- everything was done by the law- and if this fire brings about a change in the law- then that is another plus for it.
