i mean, we were dealing with uh several years with a drought and we've got the right climate and fuels conditions. we're going to continue to see these kind of high, high severity high upstream fires as someone who's been been dealing in this area for decades. i guess you're the right man to ask. is it actually getting worse in recent views? yeah, most of the modeling suggest that the kind of fire that we're seeing today, we didn't anticipate to see under climate change until about 202-030-2035. and we can expect to see doubling and tripling of the area burnt within the next couple of decades. so yeah, it is getting much worse in a situation like this. is there any way to really find the fires or can we only try and control and caroll these fires before the rain comes? yeah, the best thing to do is, is basically get people out of the way, including firefighters. is mother nature,

that puts these large fires out. we have to do much more on the, on the front mitigation side. but right now when the fire isn't going, it's mostly just get people out of the way and hope and pray for changes in the weather. you talk about getting people out of the way is the best way to keep people out of the way to prevent them from living in places like this as beautiful as they are. do you see a day coming where it's just too dangerous to live in such a beautiful but so well forested areas. yeah. well, there's a balancing act we can have if we do a lot more mitigation upfront. when it comes to dealing with fuels through prescriber running and cultural burning and thinning, then we can still have your homes and communities in these places. but if we don't do that work then, then yeah, it's gonna be very unsustainable to live in those locations. is there anything that can be done in the future to prepare to pay have or pay for fires like days? yeah it's, it's, it's large scale fuels work. i mean, we need to do a lot more culture and prescribe burning on the scale of hundreds and thousands of

factors a year. the us is burning about $9000000.00 acres a year, and i think last year and can we burned about $9000.00 acres? so we need to be doing much more of that. and it does show that the ending and burning is very beneficial to preventing large scale, high severity fires and minimizing damage, rubbing cry, fire ecologist, and while fine management consultants bank, right to get your input. thanks so much for speaking with us. thank you and have a good night of us. authorities have arrested one of the world's most powerful drug lords, the co founder of mexico seen a low, a cott till he was detained with the son of narcotics king pin l chapel. the 2 men boarded a private plan in mexico and flew to texas with police waiting. these are the faces of one of the world's most violent and powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world. the scene of the car town on the left is these my

a mind your somebody on the right is joaquin guzman, is the best. both men are now in detention in the united states. after they landed in texas, a board, a private plane as mail, some bought a garcia or a mild, a co founder of the car towel. he is facing charges for fentanyl trafficking, money laundering, firearms, offences, kidnapping and conspiracy to commit murder. the 2nd walk came guzman lopez, is a sign of his other co founder known as l chapel and his facing charges for trafficking and large quantities of cocaine, heroin, and maps. among other drugs, does he not know? a cartel has been blamed for decades of violence in mexico. it was founded in the 1980s by east might have somebody that has to yeah. and fucking in chapel guzman. and chapel is already serving
