Steven, I found your message below difficult to follow,
but I will say something...as a company that harvests timber and manufactures
lumber, we are usually the first ones on a fire that breaks out locally.
If it's a small, but nevertheless potentially dangerous fire along the highway,
we often have it out before fire suppression agencies arrive. If it's a
large fire, we are right alongside those agencies, fighting the
fire.
As a
environmentalist, just us saying something does not make it happen.
Just
the reverse, when (Supposed) Responsible Agencies make and
take unsupported actions
that
are not supportable by LAW.
Then
they go to a court of Law.
The
Court decides who is right and who is wrong.
Talk
is CHEEP, people like myself that care and do not have vested and often
have a
conflicting interests i/e job's, subsidies such as water agencies, power
companies, logging, grazing and mining, raptors of the land and new road
building along with excessive development seem to lose.
Many
then turn into (paid very well Hero's)parties that
work on fires in time of need "Must" be consider in the reactions of many that
Scream about environmentalists. Love that overtime and danger pay that is
paid.
Then
try to cover up for each other during and after a fire or other calimity cause
my stupid management of our resources especially when they know better. These
people are not ignorgant.
I also
point out that there have been numerous cases of Fire for profit by some of
the above. (Not all)
