“economically for the entire logging and lumber industries”
“effected industries”
The comment
It is not only in the best interest for wildfire suppression efforts but also economically for the entire logging and lumber industries to Recind the roadless rule. Almost the entirety of the opponents of rescinding the roadless rule have opinions based on wildly false information such as fires starting near roads which the data includes major interstate highways, city and urban areas and is not exclusive to USFS or BLM road systems. Fires that start in roadless areas are statistically five times larger than those within accessible roaded systems, and these fires account for 59% of all acres burned annually. Many of the opponents have limited to zero experience in the management of landscapes nor are even part of the effected industries.
