it's an average of 8 million acres a year right now that burn in wildfires. early last century it was around 50 million acres. frankly we do too much to stop it. most of montana should just become the buffalo commons anyway. burn it, make it prairie again, return to natural state where the buffalo roam
but quit your whinging anyway
