Interacting with a USFS employee this morning, I used the term “controlled burn” when referring to one of those fires. The person told me that they consider that term somewhat offensive and they do not use it.

I asked what the new PC term was and they had no answer besides just “a wildfire”, which I thought was odd. This must be a brand new policy hitting out there to not use the term.

The person told me that when it escapes the planned area of the burn, it is no longer a prescribed burn and is just a wildfire. They are really covering their tracks with sophistry.
