I’m trying to understand the problem here? Is it smart to have a fire when it’s 90* and dry out, not really, but if it starts a wildfire it does what our government agencies fail to do because some tree hugging non profit donated to a politicians account telling them they can burn or manage. It clears the dead forest underbrush giving new plant life for animals to thrive on. Maybe, just maybe we wouldn’t have the damage from bark beetles if forests were managed or burned. Just my opinionYou forgot the part where your failure to follow the law may or may not burn someones house or cabin down. Or better yet kill someone. We are not just talking about burning some blow downs.
Well at least old Hilary Franz didn't shut down DNR lands this year.That was BS .Complete shut down is crazy stuff.
I rarely spend a night in the woods without a camp fire, and I have had hundreds of campfires when they were banned. I consider myself very knowledgeable on fire behavior and have more common sense than most. I also understand that most people are idiots though and that's why we have the regulations we do, but...that's not going to stop me from doing my thing. Go ahead and flame me! (Pun intended)

Im certain many many people thought just like you, then they burned down 1000’s of acres and property because all they could think of was themselves sadly. I hope you get a huge fine one day that make you think.

There’s always things out of our control and *censored* can happen in seconds. Very poor attitude!
