Keep a sense of proportion and make your owndecisions after doing a little of your own thinking; lightning has been causing uncontrolled forest and grassfires for over a billion years. In the 1920s, the USForest Service 'decided' forest fires were 'worth' fighting, and developed the 'Smoky the Bear' campaign for prompt reporting/fighting forest fires. In 1999, the USForest Service 'decided' forest health was best maintained by controlled burns and allowing lighning-strike fires to 'naturally' propogate. All the recent publicity about 'forest' fires threatening housing is due to builders building houses inside forested areas. And please, don't get me started about volcanoes and rainforests.
