Fire is the solution for preventing wildfire

The Forest Service has failed its mission in the Black Hills and throughout the Rocky Mountain West. Bill Gabbert at Wildfire Today keeps ip up to speed on fire as the solution to wildfire.

The Casper Trib tells readers:

A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a law prohibiting roads on nearly 50 million acres of land in national forests across the United States, a ruling hailed by environmentalists as one of the most significant in decades. The U.S. Forest Service currently manages more than 190 million acres of land used for multiple purposes that must comply with strict rules on land use changes spelled out in the federal Wilderness Act and National Environmental Policy Act.

Get out there and burn now.
