DISASTER WILDFIRE: Mandatory evacuations for the people in Spokane, Washington

Spokane has a big problem with druggies and homeless people living in the area. I will be up there in a few weeks. Last time I was there those were the people setting fires. They caught a lot of them. Spokane is a liberal city and does nothing to them. I guess this all comes back to bite them in the butt. when we walked around the main part of the city and the parks around the falls people wher sleeping on the sidewalks and doing drugs in the open.
 
Looks like they wasn't professionally managing the forest around town. Those type of evergreens grow old to maybe 50 years old and die from drought and beetles. The only proven way to manage them in most cases, is to clear-cut, slightly terrace then replant in sections every 25-40 years, then thin out and clear cut again. Over and over. The beetles have a hard time killing active growth. Old growth, the beetles love finishing them off, and fire is what mother nature prescribes!

Fires are great for fertilizing land.

I used to do a lot of bon fires on my property of trees/logs and a year later the grasses are green. A circle of lush green grass. Plants love those nutrients from the ash.
