In '78, my first captain, CDF, told me there were going to be these massive fires in my career. He could see it coming. In his 35+ years, he only had a handful of 20-30k fires. He said between the political drive for saving different endangered species, ruining the logging industry, and the projected massive urban growth into the interface was going to be the driving forces to cause 50k plus fires on a regular basis, I honored his wisdom, but in my youth, I didn’t really think it would be quite the way he predicted. He was spot on!
