Ello folks I have some questions for the firefighting community

[Noahwolf]

Hi my name is Noah and I am an Explorer in Manitou Springs, Colorado. I am working on a school research project and would like to get some views on these questions.

1) What do you think the world would be like if firefighters were not around?

2) Should we focus on protecting houses in forested areas near a forest fire, but, allow the fire to burn a bit longer clearing away more underbrush that will become even more fuel if another fire were to come through?

Please post your opinions and own answers to the questions. I need as much feed back as posible for my ten page research project.
