Logging Crew Firefighters.
This story appeared on KREM2 in Spokane. I’m heartened to see a support for an active strategy to deal with the wildfire dilemma. In defiance of popular conventional wisdom that harvesting trees is a bad thing. Finally, using harvesting as a tool for healthier forests. It too long overdue in the minds of the public.

Good news that folks are now in agreement and I’ll add my two cents here. I see logging as likey p the best tool to control fires but gee that is a whole lot of forest to log. Lumber companies better get busy. So much has already been lost.

It’s a huge problem here. The USFS is responsible for the creating the Timber sales On the national forest. They don’t thin enough to really help the situation. Perhaps with new management things will improve. Right now they can’t even get a significant amount of the dead trees harvested.
