It's supposed to burn.
It's easy to let somebody else's house burn, but when it's your own property going up it's a different story.
The really big, destructive fires here in Colorado the past few years have all been exaggerated by drought and short-term weather conditions. "Letting it burn" doesn't work in these situations; if you don't stop fires quickly, you wind up losing hundreds of houses, as we've been through several times recently.
