Last but not least, is there some Enviral Agenda against using bull dozers and power wagons to make fire lanes? It seems like all we see are pictures of humans fight fires and no heavy duty equipment!

The agenda is seed. The dozers and heavy equipment carry weeds. The wackjobs fear them for that reason and rightly so. The problem with that idea is that boots, backpacks, tents, and tarps carry weeds too. The net effect of all that caution is to make things worse by increasing the acreage and number of sites exposed to entry by firefighters from all over the country.

Fuel management always was the correct tool and these turkeys are now in over their heads.

According to your reply, I'm not just imagining things about not seeing dozers and other heavy equipment battle these fires this year and the past few years.

So due to their fear of weeds, they will let 200,000 acres burn up instead using dozers to break in some real fire lanes. With these big fires and the fuel build up, manpower is not enough to contain let alone control these fires. Heavy equipment is needed! These slimey bastards are even worse than I have thought.

Your final part of your reply:

They are obviously over their heads and have placed a large part of this country's population and forests in a Clear and Present Danger.

The al Qaeda terrorists must just set back and say go Club Sierra! You are so effective in harming America/Americans!
