Forest Service | Fire extinction | Fire management | Wildfires -- Prevention and control | West (United States)DDC classification: 050 Summary: "Since the Great Fires of 1910 swept the West and killed upward of 90 people, U.S. Forest Service policy has been based on a simple premise: Burns are bad and must be extinguished as quickly as possible. It was a protocol exemplified as quickly as possible. It was a protocol exemplified for over half a century by the avuncular Smokey, with his firefighter shovel and ranger hat, who was retired only last year. It is also the principal reason the United States is now facing the worst wildland fires in more than 90 years." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article contends that the wild fires in the West can be attributed to the United States Forest Service policy.
