People get this idea when you say you want the woodlands to be thin’d and preventative measures added  that it’s just bulldozers and chainsaws but leasing the land back to farmers to feed the food we eat and safeguarding our land is just good stewardship. The city, county, state would make money off it but they don’t see how they could personally make money off it so it goes critical till it burns uncontrollably. They claim leaving it is an environmentalist move, does burning everything uncontrollably cause more or less pollution than a cows fart.

Again thanks grok for the image not quite what I had in mind but got the job done.
