urban wild land interface fires are particularly dangerous, because you have civilian populations that are trying to move around, to evacuate. you ve got the firefighters trying to focusnd protecting homes and property, and it just becomes a very dangerous situation. what s important is coordination between agencies, between the forest service, the blm, bureau of land management, the regional district federal and local agencies to make sure that they get the right kind of resources quickly to that fire to be able to bring it under control. bill: indeed. all great points, sir. thank you so much for your expertise. james cherry goes back decades
