How many times do you go to watch tv and the news is telling you about the latest wildfire in California? Maybe you live in Califorina and you witness these fires yourself. It is a shame all those animals dying and their homes being burned down but what if there was a way to fix it? Would you consider the solution if it also involved fire? Well I would and in this esay I am going to tell you the many reasons I support perscribed burns.
