>>2449782Not all habitats tolerate fire well or benefit from it. It could also threaten livable areas for endangered species, or threaten nearby structures, like homes or other campsites with people nearby. Fire is great when used at the right place at the right time.
>>2449766I don't know if I would go quite that far, though. I can't really think of any alternatives except maybe increasing restrictions relative to fire weather danger ratings. Or making people go through a licensing class to prove they're not incompetant shmucks leaving a smoldering pit way out in the woods on a high fire danger day.
