How much do you really know personally about fire and range management, as opposed to what lawyers say about it?

I have friends and family who are ranchers w/ large ranches in Wyoming, Montana, Washington and Oregon. What I know of wild fires and controlled burns I know thru the folks who worry about it and take measures to combat out of control *controlled* burns.
Have I personally been on a fire line ... nope. I will leave that to more experienced hands.
What these guys in Oregon did was not a controlled burn. According to family members, who witnessed the act, the fire was started on purpose to cover the crime of poaching. These are not guys to stand behind re: the BLM.
