In 1963, we noted Yellowstone needed a fire to clear things out. In the early 1970’s I was in on some of the first “prescribed burn” programs. Yep, Smokey was a big problem in implementing sound forest policy on fire. UNPLANNED wildfire is still NOT a good thing, but the average person knows nothing about forest management.
