yup, they did the same thing with the national forests.. were advised to do some thinning and get up some off the floor.. didnt listen, it combusted or was set, and now the fires are out of control.

Probably what used to be Plan A. Vodka and cocaine. Maybe a non diet soda in between. :)

Real old days, people drank booze because water carried diseases.
