Editor's Note:

Last October, a northern California citizens group published a fascinating, if not disturbing, report concerning the history of wildfire suppression in the Big Bar Ranger District on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Across the West, many citizens are growing increasingly uncomfortable with what they perceive tbe a half-hearted forest fire suppression on the part of the federal government. For this reason - and many others - the northern California report makes for very interesting reading.
