Right now, I’m hearing alot of armchair quarterbacks passing judgement on the National Park Service management of a wildfire on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. The ensuing fire burned down the historic north rim lodge along with dozens of other structures. It’s a tragedy. Many people seem to “know” that National Park Management mishandled this fire in the beginning. They may have. I don’t know. I don’t have the facts. We may have opinions about what happened. But opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. There will be an investigation. Let’s wait until we Really know what happened before passing judgement. In this podcast, I’ll describe many of the factors that may have contributed to the sad outcomes.
