I don’t want to get all political and I’m across the nation from it so I don’t know the situation but by the sounds of it it’s lack of management of logging controlled burns and power lines. 🤷🏼♂️ Either way it’s a bad deal. Lots of loss.
The fire we are on was arson but most fires up here were a result of 60mph winds at beginning of driest time of year. Its so different fighting fires now than even ten years ago. So many people are building in high fire areas. More people equals more fires. The Colville national forest has upped its cut to 100 million feet a year so minds are changing quickly about managing forests but we are 20 years from being in a safer place.

Where is all that wood gonna go? Only three to four mills within a couple hours right? Vaagen, boise and doesn't Idaho forest group have one? Either way it's a good start. Be safe out there.
