<br/><br/> "The fires came early this year [2002] to the West, chasing people out of valleys in Colorado, rousting animals from late slumber in Alaska, choking the sky with smoke in Arizona woods that have so little moisture they seem kiln-dried. The price of holding back nature has come home, fire officials say." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article examines the outbreak of fires in the western United States and addresses the possibility of the government changing its fire policy.
