If something like this was done in an area where there are not houses (and these fires have/had been in areas where a daisycutter would not damage homes or lives), I don't see how a cutter dropped at the leading edge of a fire would push it into un-burnt areas. If it was at the leading edge, woudn't the blast on the back half of the blast area push it back over already consumed territory? I think I will look into it some more and see what I find. I know with oil rigs they don't just "drop it in the hole", so I don't think the opinion on a blast at the front line of a wall of flame is accurate, either.

Go for it. Legally.

The feds might have an opening in their Colorado crew, if they play fair.
