I know the NPS has some history around fire suppression and prescribed burns over the decades, but this one does not add up. The chlorine gas release and timeline don’t make sense. You are tight about the structures. I hope it’s investigated. Regardless, the loss is a hard one.

Feds treated the fire as a prescribed burn apparently at the hottest and driest time.

The Dragon Bravo Fire started on July 4 and was managed at first as a controlled burn. Then the wind picked up, and it quickly became uncontrollable.

…corn springs had become so degraded…
Wish it had happened before Corn Springs had. Even so degraded.
Different point…where was that shot with saguaros in it in your post? I hear there are a few in the Palo Verde Mountains.

Only ~1% of the nations livestock inventory ever set hoof on public land
Yet they cause unimaginable damage to the prairie grasslands carbon sink
Increasing CO2 uptake is just as important as decreasing CO2 emissions
