A couple whose gender reveal party in Southern California triggered a wildfire that killed a firefighter last September has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson announced Tuesday.
Driving the news: A smoke-generating pyrotechnic device from the party sparked the El Dorado Fire in which 39-year-old firefighter Charles Morton died. Another 13 people were wounded. The blaze razed 22,680 acres and forced the evacuations of hundreds of people in the area.
Forrest management.most of the lumber I buy for years is stamped product of Canada.Our war on logging has made them wealthy selling us lumber we cannot cut here.Notice western Canada is not burning down like the US.Could you imagine all the homes our burned timber could have built now just ash in the sky?Do you know how many more spotted owls these fires have killed than managed logging ever could?Humans can be really stupid loving thing to death and prove it every day.Yeah you saved a tree at the cost of hundreds of thousands of trees.
Western Canada is not burning? You gotta be kidding. Half the country is on fire, particularly in the west.
I repeat...the key piece being left out of the equation here is that a lot of people have moved out into the forested land so now when fires occur, even if they were the same as prior years the loss of property and life will be much higher.
