Do your numbers differentiate between intentional, planned burns vs natural fires (lightning, etc) or just lump them together to get "total acres burned?" My understanding is we used to do a lot more intentional burning.
- bombcar 4y agoThere are two kinds of intentional burns - one where you intentionally light the fire to burn off an area (perhaps done after logging or refreshing a field) and one where you let an area burn because you don't care or don't want to defend it. I believe the metric here is just "total acres burned" and I doubt intentional burning would count for forty million acres which is just insanely large.
