I had assumed they would do it when the weather couldn't as easily cause it to be out-of-control, but it seemed to go away after a day, so they must have been fine.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984115229811752666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084204667222116589.post-14504465064524104372009-08-09T16:36:14.565-07:002009-08-09T16:36:14.565-07:00Sometimes it's best to let nature take its cou...Sometimes it's best to let nature take its course.

We are having a severe problem with Lodgepole beetle-killed trees here in CO. It is very frightening, since we live right on the edge of wilderness where there are now a lot of dead trees. Nature would take care of the problem with lightening fires, but as you say - fires are managed now because of habitation. If we see or hear of a fire starting near us, we'll leave immediately. It is becoming like tinder in the mountains of CO.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084204667222116589.post-90599210898733906402009-08-04T07:57:30.804-07:002009-08-04T07:57:30.804-07:00I'm going to add a link to your post on mine, ...I'm going to add a link to your post on mine, you have some very good information here.

Having been burnt out once, no fire in the summer is manageable there are so many factors involved that can turn it into an unstoppable tragedy.<br />We are building a fire bunker to be physically safe next time.<br /><br />Re. our pine tree, the prof has a thing about cutting down a living tree, but sometimes it is necessary for a variety of reasons. Radiata pines are a bad choice for out country, they are water seeking with an immense root system. We have a row of pines that were a good wind break when young but now they are a pest and killing all my garden.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084204667222116589.post-25485461008393291222009-08-04T02:04:42.804-07:002009-08-04T02:04:42.804-07:00Thanks Gaelyn for the informative post.
