Crackdown on exploding targets in Colo. forests

[SA Friday]

No prob but were is the back up:" are a major cause of wildfires"

I don't think they are really a major problem. Neither are forest rangers burning "Dear John" letters in the middle of a burn ban in Pike National Forest, but that little bitch caused the Haymen fire. You can only cover what you can cover.

As of 2006, the #1 cause of forest fires was humans (83%)... the rest was lightning- although lightning is responsible for the most area destruction fires. Of that, I cannot find a single figure on "shooting/shooting related" causes, most are irresponsible campfires, trash/slash burning, and industrial use in wooded areas. I imagine cigarettes could be a part of that.
