Ahhh, you aren't aware of the restrictions landowners are put under
by all the 'environmental' regulations, are you? Much of the problem
stems from the inability of landowners to properly control the
underbrush, grasses, weeds, and other flammable vegetation. Their
hands have been tied by the 'green' movement.

I agree "environmerntalSM" is a cult religion but there are
responsible ecologists

My comment wasn't directed at responsible ecologists.

I'm sure there were educated ecologists who wanted to do small
prescribed burns around those houses and the homeowners wouldn't let
them because they did not want the smoke and to have to look at burned
ground for a couple months.

Nope, that isn't the issue at all. The issue are is regulations prohibiting
mechanical clearing of the grounds of high brush and tilling the ground for
firebreaks where it would be appropriate.
