Is there any way to guard against wildfires?
What I am thinking of is the use of controlled burnings to contain fire outbreaks. Since people inadvertently cause many fires, maybe it would also be a good idea to have controlled burnings in areas along highways or other places where people congregate. The two obvious questions are. Would this work? Is it economically feasible? If not, is there anything else that can be done?
