Ah, most of this was shot in District 16 okeechobee and Martin County work station. Saw some people I worked with years ago. The Division of Forestry/Florida Forest Service has changed so much drastically 180 since the early 2000's. It is not for the public anymore. Everything locked up secure like they are expecting a terrorist attack. Cameras everywhere and no trespassing signs. No visitors welcome. Only those with business to burn or get a permit. No climbing towers or visiting. It's not the FBI or CIA. We were never like that in all the years I was there. It was for the public and welcome them and did programs at the site. Not your brotherhood of firefighters. It's always been a stab others in the back to try and get ahead and make yourself look good. Ruthless people everywhere in the world. No exceptions here either. Hand it over to the fire departments like they threatened years ago. 🙄

we have a problem in Florida. Florida is supposed to burn, we cause bad fires because when one starts, we run and extinguish it asap, thus the fuel piles up until we can't extinguish it. we're stupid. when you need to burn something, you need a permit, they will only let you burn, after 9am and must put it out before dark instead of letting you burn after the dew falls at night ,so fire has a hard time spreading and you can see fire flys easily and if something does catch you can see it while it's very small instead of after it's grown beyond control. this needs to be changed.

Gammareign Maybe to you it is, but this is how the ecosystem has looked in most of the southeastern US for hundreds of thousands of years. The understory of a long leaf pike forest can support over 1000 species per acre of just plants. The ecosystem is home to 1800 endemic plant species and 1400 endemic animal species meaning they are found nowhere else on earth. If you were to plant hardwoods or not burn it, the biodiversity would only be limited to around 50-90 species an acre at best. Yes you’d have more kinds of trees, but the biodiversity comes from the plant community underneath that is supported by longleaf pines

@@johnperic6860 Actually, they are. Single-species only forests are typically more disease and pest prone and conifers are alelopathic. Some hardwoods like hickory and walnut are also alelopathic, but hickory and walnut produce nutritious edible mast. A good deal of hardwoods actually improve soil conditions.
The old fires weren't "natural." The Indians set most of them.

John Ortmann they sill naturally had fires ignited by lightning every 3-5 years and the Indians still helped the ecosystem out by burning some of it as the ecosystem depends on fire
@johnortmann30984 жыл бұрын
@@johnperic6860 Don't try to teach your grandmother how to suck eggs, son. Read Pyne. Indians took fire away from lightning (transitioning from "first" to "second" fire in his language). In the process, they altered and even destroyed pre-human ecosystems and replaced them with something they liked better. What the Florida foresters are doing trying to copy what the Indians did. And no, lightning fire isn't the same as anthropomorphic fire: Lightning fires tend to burn during restricted times of the year, and are smaller and less intense because it's usually raining on them. Anthropomorphic fires are and were set at times of the year and under conditions calculated to produce desired results.
