Oregon needs to start more fires in order to stop them. “Prescribed burns” are a common practice, however, in Oregon they chafe against the interests of the timber industry.

Tim Ingalsbee believes in fighting fires with fire—something he says Oregon isn't doing enough of.

A lifelong wildland firefighter who has worked for the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service, Ingalsbee is executive director of Firefighters United for Safety, Ethics and Ecology, an organization whose primary goal is advocating for a more preventative approach to wildfire management.
