The article states “But the report also noted that Forest Service officials in charge of managing firefighting efforts couldn’t have known that the fire would move as rapidly as it did, placing the crews in harm’s way. Fire officials may need to view the unprecedented fire speed as a new norm under drier, windier conditions, the report said.” Really??? Everyone in the northland new we were under drought conditions last summer. And guess what….we do get windy conditions from time to time. Does anyone with the Forrest Service read the newspaper or watch the Weather Channel? How about calling the National Weather Service? You know…..find out how much rain the area has received in the past 6 months. So they produce a 33 page report that basically shows them to be incompetent.

The biggest fire hazard the Forest Service has, is all the paper they use.
Pagami probably cost more in trees for all the paperwork they generate,
then the fire to print out that their computer models.
What happened to walking outside and looking up.
Foresters don’t go into the forest, they go into their cubicle.
