Quote from the USFS Smokey the Bear
"9 out of 10 wildfires nationwide are caused by people."

My opinion is that the principal cause of the disastrous effects of the Pagami Creek Fire include mismanagement by careless people; namely the USFS forest service managers. I have used the canoe county and BWCA for outdoor activities for over a half a century. Now vast areas have been destroyed by the careless action of the government agency that is suppose to be caring for it.

It will take decades for the forest to recover!

It's time to throw out the old management and replace it with someone with some common sense.
