The Bighorn Fire is being called a fire management success due to minimal community impact

Timothy Ingalsbee is the executive director of Firefighters United for Safety, Ethics, and Ecology (FUSEE) who put together the report said, “Despite its great size, not a single home or business burned and that was a stark contrast to the 2003 Aspen Fire. The change in tactics is about size not severity. It’s going to grow large, (but) it’s not the size that matters, but more the severity. Is it unnaturally severe?”
