Fires are eating the budget, from 16% in 95 to 52% in 15 (Sorry, dont have more recent numbers but assume that they are worse)...Predicted 2025 67%....the Forest Service has been pleading with Washington to figure something out because much of their work they cant afford to do anymore and the uncertainty because they never know how much the fires are going to cost degrades what they can do even more.
So far Washington has refused to act (ED: Or they can't get anything done, who ever knows with these assholes anymore!).
Should fires be funded differently?
I say yes, figure something out Washington.
