Ex-Senator Malcolm Wallop on Yellowstone fires (
Wyoming Wildlife, September 1998, p.38):
Quote:

"Wallop remains convinced today that mismanagement of the park's fire policy caused the firefight to be more expensive than it should have been. "The foundation stone of the mistake was 100 years of fire suppression followed by a policy of indecision," Wallace believes. "You can't do both. You can't go from one policy to another with no transition. You can't go all natural after having been 100 years unnatural."
