The fuel load is too high to have controlled burns. If you had read my post instead of bashing me for cut and paste, you would known that.

If the fuel load is too high which may be the case then they must be thinned some first.

The fuel load being too high to have controled burns in unmanaged forests is not because of environmentalists. Quite the oposite. They wanted fires to burn though which would have prevented the problem and the need for a solution.
