“Obama’s environazi allies set the conditions for this fire by refusing to allow roads that might “hurt the forest”
then his fool minions cancelled the normal contract for aerial tankers with a private company”
Hate to say this but this fire is because conditions are so extremely dry that everything that usually never burns is burning. This has nothing to do with lack of controlled burns, roads, logging, nothing except 6% average humidity and no rain and very little snow this past winter. It is simply because everything is dry.
As far as tankers, we’ve got tankers, lots and lots of tankers. In fact, the skies are busy with tankers. We even have thousands of firefighters. As the governor said, Colorado is getting everything they ask for and more but things are simply so dry that every breeze pushes the fire further out.
I’ve lived here for 25 years and have never seen this dry of conditions.
sorry - I throw the BS flag. Have you seen them scramble to bulldoze a road thru the forest by greem mountain falls? This is the type of action that should have been done years ago but was fought by the envirowacks.
You are correct - it is dry. Howwever, the answer is to cut the dead tress, particularly the beetle kill in the NW part of the state, before the burn and destroy the topsoil. Give the wood away to the pellet manufacturers and let them take care of the problem pro actively.
