Why don't they just let it burn?
Nothing up there but rocks and lakes.

If any of the above idiots have ever been in the areas described, they would know fires there are easily contained when properly watched over. Lots of granite, which in case you don't know, doesn't burn. Just stay in the campground fool, don't try to go to the backcountry, you wouldn't stand a chance.

Agreed. Same people that need a generator because they can’t step away from their phone for a few hours to enjoy fresh air, exercise and Mother Nature.
