United States v. Forest Service in re: 2017 Fire Season HA-22-9-17

Forest Service (FS) burns public land sixty times more than National Parks Service (NPS). If FS arsons were fired, and slash piles left rightly chipped and chucked, it is estimated that the National Park Service with the contract supervision of affected county parks could reduce fire risk on 314 million acres of National Resource Lands more than tenfold from 1.2% in National Forests and average rate of 0.7% FY 17 to <0.07% FY 18. The USDA Forest Service is fined up to $800 million for the 2017 fire season, all 33,000 employees fired, FS land, property and entire $5.3 billion FY 18 budget is due process by the national and county parks for forfeiture for arson within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction under 18USC§81. The National Forests and Grasslands were given to the United States Department of Agriculture in 1905 but since the Big Blowup Fire in 1910 the end of the law has become National Park Service and Related Organizations Title 54 of the United States Code. The Interior Secretary must however be recused for two counts of obstruction of justice (arson and subtraction) under Rule 96 (Art. 134) of the Manual for Courts-Martial, may not receive bribes from the President, or intimidate his accountant with freehold or leasehold interests in national parks and monuments of scientific significance under 54USC§102901(a). County parks are advised to act through the National Park Service Director under 54USC§100101(a). In the 2017 fire season 195 forest fires burned 2,783,813 acres in the United States. In Montana 753,850 acres burned, 287,295 acres in Lolo National Forest. Oregon burned 628,148 acres, 287,074 acres in Rogue River Siskiyou National Forest. California burned 333,386 acres, 171,798 acres in Klamath National Forest, near the Oregon border. All told 458,869 acres, 25% of 1.8 million acre Rogue-River Siskiyou National Forest burned in 2017. A total of 2,232,800 acres of National Forests were burned in the 2017 fire season. In 2017 the Forest Service burned more than 2.2 million acres, 1.2% of their 183 million acres of National Forests and Grasslands, 0.7% of 314 million acres of National Resource Lands, to cause 80% of total acres burned in the United States. The 334 units of the U.S. national park system, encompass 89 million acres of which 66,876 acres, 0.07% burned. The forty-eight national parks cover about 47 million acres of which 19,556 acres, 0.02% burned. The difference is explained by 47,320 acres burned in Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. 484,137 acres were burned on public land held by State forestry, agencies, and field offices. 4,161 acres burned in one un-contained forest fire under county jurisdiction.
