If this fire was set by private individuals or private companies, they would 
be entirely liable for compensating the residents for lost homes.  There 
would be law suits flying thick and fast.  Will the federal government 
compensate residents for the value of their lost homes, livestock, etc.?  If 
not, I shall be very disallusioned with our government.  The park supervisor 
says he did not receive a weather warning from the weather service, as they 
claimed.  He couldn't SEE this coming??  He didn't know anything about 
weather??  Meteorology should be required study by park supervisors.... Or 
maybe it just takes years of WATCHING weather to learn this.
