Jim Furnish (Deputy Chief, USDA Forest Service [Ret.]), responded to Jones et al 2022 article by stating their commentary is short on facts and their information presented for wildfire management is the alone credible source while other information is considered misinformation. “The authors are dismissive of anything that questions their position, and uncomfortable with answering the hard questions about the costs and challenges of scale regarding landscape vegetation management.”
