Title
"Colorado Forest Fire" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the Hayman Fire, the Colorado's worst forest fire in the state's recorded history from 2002-2020. AuCoin argues that fires have worsened due to years of fire suppression that have led to unhealthy forests. He thus advocates for the reintroduction of controlled burns that allow limited forest thinning. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in mid-2002.
