California Congressmen Push for Aggressive Fire Suppression

Timothy Ingalsbee of Firefighters United for Safety, Ethics, and Ecology said that this effort represents a mindset back from the 1930s. "We live in a very different world now. Climate-driven wildfire events have really surpassed human abilities to control all fires, to prevent all fires, to put them out when they burn." He said that it's past time to start working with fire not just for the good of the land, but also for our own health and safety, and for the health and safety of wildland firefighters.
