Yes sir OP trapper Y Joined: Jan 2017 Marion Kansas	Originally Posted by Bob_Iowa Originally Posted by KeithC If they were smart, they would do a lot more proscribed burns in the West, especially in California. When you have plants in the area that are pyrophytes, you should know it's going to eventually burn, because if it didn't, they wouldn't be there. Keith The first problem with your statement is California. Yes sir I’ve seen fire do funny things, the chief here always says if you’re going to burn grass call him before you light it so he can let people know to kinda be around if you need them, I always thought that was smart so they at least had a heads up. We have to call all our burns in

They burn the national forest around here … see flames 30 yards from back window at times when it jumps the break I spent 5 winters in East Texas around 20 years ago burning. I was stationed in Lufkin (Hudson Helibase) and we would fly each day to the Angelina, Sam Houston, Caddo, Sabine and whatever the other forest was in Texas to do RX burns. Another year I took a Strike Team of engines down there for fires. I have been on fires in West Texas quite a few times too. Those were "fun" fires and far different than the mountain West. My years in Idaho on the Boise and Clearwater NF's were some of the best. I have nothing clever to put here.
