Comment: Can we at least legislate that fires be put out when they are found? The Chetco Bar fire, now pushing 300 square miles, was originally found at one-quarter acre. A decision was made to allow it to burn, an obvious bad call. 

This is an extreme example, but we really need to change our approach to fire season, imo. Notice that the worst fires in CA manage to get to ten to fifteen square miles, and often much, much smaller, before they are not just contained but extinguished. This valuing of structures over lungs isn't good public policy, at least for those of us with lungs.
