Fire is a part of nature and helps to regenerate the forest, but under nature's terms. Such uncontrolled burns are the result of careless human action done during a time of extreme dry conditions. The forests of Superior should normally burn in different areas, with mixed severity, only every 250 years or so. They would start by lightning, and be controlled by the same storms, providing enough moisture to effectively "cage" the scorched area. In this case, however, it was probably someone being very careless with a cigarette or even a chainsaw. Hopefully the rains crossing the land will take care of the problem soon.Brent Krydahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456956932831123524noreply@blogger.com
