Human-Caused Fires Growing: Arizona Looks for Suspect, Nevada Bans Fireworks & Incendiary Rounds to Stop Wildfires. Forest Service Shoots Themselves in the Foot... Again. Retardant Lawsuit Update.

  • Canada and Mexico burn. A good clue that we are close here in the States.

  • Human-caused fires are on the rise. Arizona is looking for a suspect for causing the Molino 2 Fire.

  • Alaska says all fires so far this year are human-caused.

  • Nevada bans all sorts of fireworks, ammunition, and targets on public lands. Very early in the year for that decision.

  • The Forest Service admits to wrongdoing in the retardant lawsuit. They say the only way to stop retardant from getting into waterways is to outright ban them from using it.
