In this episode, Chad and Mike invite Bill Fleeger into the studio to discuss policies for forest fires.  At one time, the policy of the Forest Service was to extinguish all fires as soon as they start.  However, that policy allowed fuel to build on forest floors, which eventually led to bigger, more frequent, and more expensive to manage, forest fires.  Bill talks with us about how these ideas are starting to change.
