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. They said, no, no, no, we have a lot of timber that has to go. They lost control. Now this is the last week we lost the North Rim Lodge because of the same kind of analogy. So you can't tell me that there doesn't exist these capricious nature of regulations throughout the government. (05:35–05:51)
