The Burn Objective.

Abstract

One thing is clear. In northern Michigan, both fire and people are here to stay. We must learn to respect and live with the power of fire. The flammable ecosystems of this area will continue to burn, and fire will continue to be suppressed in towns and neighborhoods. Stability, a coexistence of sorts, is necessary to ensure that the careful balance of life continues on, for the good of both the human population and the natural environment.
