They've made a decision that if it's a way for populations, we're going to let it burn. Well, that happened in Yarn Hill 19. They allowed a fire to get started and the fire was contained for a little while. Then the winds brought up and it killed 19 people, 19 firefighters. We then have the fire up in Sublet County, Wyoming, where they were doing a prescribed burn. Everybody told them, hey, don't do this burn, it's going to go out. (05:26–05:35)
