It would appear that your "Greenies" have about as much sense as our California "environmentalists". Starving a fire of its fuel is a basic way of preventing its spread. Dry conditions and high winds are a prescription for wildfires and not doing as much as possible to reduce fuel for those wildfires is severe negligence. Please keep us updated on the tragedy you guys are experiencing and above all be safe.
BTW, does anyone doubt that it will be proven that a few, some or all of your arsonists will have ulterior motives such as trying to blame climate change for the very fires they started?
