[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Forest Service Strikes again

Had a control burn at one of the local Ski areas get away from them. (Snow Summit and Bear Mountain) Still had people skiing there. Evacuated ski areas but not housing areas. Still within the overall project area, just getting more than they wanted. Weather is in right direction and they have it "controlled" just needed to get the helos involved. Will be getting higher winds tomorrow so they need to hit it.

They FU the same way here in AZ.
There is no such thing as a "controlled burn."
They are called forest fires in my book...

Not to worry. It's about 2 hours from me. The humidity dropped quickly later in the day. Only a few hundred acres or so have burned, not a big fire really. Plenty of Berdoo fire equip to handle this one too. Only the ski areas were evaced, not the townsfolk.
