Personally, I think he should go to jail.
One of the worst wildfires in San Diego county history occured for this same reason. Decades later the landscape is still a blackened scar.
Instead of fire starting equipment, maybe he should have brought a GPS? Extra batteries? Solar charger? This is crimnal neglegence, nothing less.
This thread is also a poster child for the ineffective HN comments feature.
After some moron burns up the countryside, all the discussion here is about how different places have similar names?
Pathetic...
- Nullabillity 4y agoYou can focus on punishing people, or you can look at why the mixup happened in the first place.
- s1artibartfast 4y agothe "mixup" happened because someone was an idiot and then started a fire. If I get drunk, drive, and cause property damage, would you feel the same way? People have a responsibility to not drive drunk and not to start forest fires. We can do a 5 whys activity but that doesn't negate the culpability of the individual.
- cmh89 4y agoWhat's the point of sending him to jail and make a ward of the state? Is he an idiot? Sure. Do forests burn? Yeah. Just ban him from public lands and fine him. Fire is a natural part of the landscape in the west. You should learn to appreciate it because our policy of putting out fires for aesthetic and logging reasons has made our whole landscape a powder keg.
