I have a bone to pick with the tree huggers.
It deals with the topic of "control burning."
All the tree huggers are adamantly opposed to CB's and the world suffers from their stupid ideology.
When I first read about the Maui Fires, I thought this was another devastation that may have been avoided or marginalized with "Control Burns" to get rid of accumulated NATURAL organic debris.
Well, X-spurts have been telling the locals the same for YEARS.
It was NOT CLIMATE CHANGE.
Thanks To Government, Maui's Lahaina Fire Became A Deadly Conflagration, by Tyler Durden, Wednesday, Aug 16, 2023 - 06:20 PM
Nearly a decade ago the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization, a research nonprofit, warned the Hawaiian government that the area around Lahaina was extremely fire-prone due to frequent downslope winds, steep terrain, and dry grass. Little was done to address these risks. A subsequent report in 2020 added that an invasive species of exceptionally flammable grass was prevalent in the surrounding fields and that passing hurricanes created strong winds known to fuel wildfires on the islands.

I lived on Big Pine Key for nearly 20 yrs. Big Pine Key is the home of the Key Deer, a sub-species of White Tail Deer with a population of some 1000+ head. BPK is only about 10 sq miles. The Florida/Monroe County extension service and our fire department do control burning annually. Not only does it get rid on the bio trash, but the burn rejuvenates the soil for the regrowth of local grasses for deer feed.
Tourists and tree huggers hate it just because... They are our Karens :(
PS: I think the fact the deer buy our local LEOs donuts also helps :lifter:D:lifter
Controlled burning, also known as prescribed burning, involves setting planned fires to maintain the health of a forest. These burns are scheduled for a time when the fire will not pose a threat to the public or to fire managers. In addition, forest conditions should call for a controlled burn and weather conditions should be right to allow burning but not enable a fire to spread out of control. Materials burned in a planned fire include dead grass, fallen tree branches, dead trees, and thick undergrowth.
Before a controlled burn is lit, a plan—or prescription—is drawn up. This plan includes details on how big the fire will be, what it will burn, and what managers hope to accomplish with the fire. It also includes the weather and environmental conditions under which the fire will burn and any situations that might require the fire to be extinguished. Controlled-burn managers also map out how the fire will be set, how the smoke will be managed, how to inform the public, what protective equipment might be needed, and what firefighting resources should be standing by.
