Although Wildfires can be tamed, what can be done about feralfires? Increasingly common in urban environments, feral blazes are typically spawned by escaped domesticated fires, such as unattented backyard trash burnings. Wary of humans, they're found in remote, out-of-sight locations, preferring alleyways and abandoned structures. This problem results from a failure to have our flames spayed or neutered.

@@BigMacCeo The reason why controlled burns or 'hazard reduction' burns was reduced had nothing to do with policy. Current policy and science still supports it, but when you're understaffed and underfunded it's simply not possible to do so safely. Any reports you may have heard about people getting in trouble or fined for performing hazard reduction burns were doing so illegally, often on private property with little to no training and no oversight. As you can imagine it only takes one guy to screw that up and accidentally turn a hazard reduction into a major wildfire. [Edit]: I should mention I'm referring to the perspective of QLD, and NSW Australia. I'm not sure what the situation is in other countries so it may be quite different if you're somewhere else.

@@BigMacCeo Another factor with controlled burns is that with the changing environment, there's fewer and fewer safe windows for said burns. If you go from 30 days a year when it's safe to start a controlled burn, to 15 days a year, you really can't sustain the amount of management you need. There's also the ever growing population centers, and more homes being built in previously uninhabited regions, which makes burning in those regions almost impossible.

Problem with the fire retardant is that it's also fertiliser, and many areas are already suffering from an overabundance of nutrients, which causes specialised plants that thrive in nutrient-poor ecosystems to go extinct (at least locally). While many areas of forest were kept free of underbrush by the forests being dense enough to not allow for much growth at ground level, a major contributing factor were also large animals which have since been hunted to extinction by humans. Replacing them with goats might help, but are you sure goats are the best choice?

They've been using controlled fires for a while to lessen the amount of undergrowth so the fires can't spread as fast or get as hot. That makes them less dangerous and less damaging to the surrounding communities; which is a good thing. Let small controlled fires burn; that way when natural fires do come along they're less likely to spread as far or as hot or as dangerously.

The fire will reach the cabins in 24 hours and the flame front is expected to be at least a mile wide. Let me know how that bucket thing works out for you.

It seems that in the case of replanting large conventional aircraft would be quicker and more efficient than drones? For the replanting, the flight is not particularly dangerous as it is for action firefighting and can be done from a somewhat higher altitude. Might it not be possible to adapt fire fighting planes to be able to drop a slurry of gelled fertilizer, seeds, and soil? I'm going to guess that the idea time for replanting doesn't coincide with fire season, so the aircraft would not be needed as much for their primary job. Plus additional flight hours for the crews to keep them sharp.

It takes a long time, but a field becomes a forest... the forest grows older with debris collecting on the ground and older trees dying and drying out. Then along comes a thunderstorm and a fire starts... the forest becomes a field again. And the circle continues. It is only a matter of time before aged woodlands catch fire, that is how nature is. So why not go into areas that are prime for fires and harvest the older trees for 2x4s, plywood, etc. and harvest the diseased trees for firewood, and replant as the trees are felled? This is opposed to cutting down every last tree in a given area. Sure it would cost more to do it "surgically". But consider the money saved if it ends up reducing wildfires. It won't eliminate them completely, but it would reduce the amount of dead wood and debris available to burn.
