[OUT NOW] FE6.9 - On Fire: Out of the Green, Into the Black So you want to put good fire on the ground, but how?? We're finally moving from theory to practice, as we learn what it really means to be on the prescribed fire line.

A fire lighter uses a drip torch to ignite a low-intensity fire on the forest floor, and coax it down the hill. On the burned side, a small hazel plant is resprouting and porcupines walk in the background.

The classic trolley problem meme: a person stands ready to pull a lever to switch the tracks carrying a trolley. On one set of tracks sits a Spotted Owl, which the trolley will hit if the person does nothing. On the other set of tracks are two Barred Owls.
