You don't think anyone on this list fits either category??????????????? 
the most homes and lives lost as I remember in a brush /forest generated
fire was the Oakland-Berkeley Fire.(doubt that controlled burning would
have helped.)   How do you know who is on the list and where they live and
what they do?  Last week on the PCT, I saw smoke coming  from the North and
south, fires in both directions were not contained.  How does this relate
to the article's premise and yours to not fight large fires.  A fire always
starts out small; what do you propose to do before it gets big?  Wasn,t it
the controlled burning concept that created the Los Alamos fire last year?

I find that the Audobon article interesting but one-sided, and I notice
your comments are even more intolerant of what may be happening in many and
different fires in the West (and  to hikers on the PCT). Each fire is
different.  It is your generalizations that are so destructive.
