I have been saying that since I learned that the lightening struck in the heart of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness.

Due to federal laws that were made even worse during the Clintoon years. Lightening fires are considered good fires of nature, and the floristry service has been forbidden to go into a wilderness area to fight a good fire of nature.

That leaves only one way to put out a massive fire like this, you stand outside of the wilderness area and let it burn until the massive fall/winter rains come. I have seen big burning stumps or fallen trees burn for a couple of weeks in heavy rain as the fire is deep into the dead tree.
