I can guarantee we'd have gathered up all the fallen debris from the ice storm earlier this year had we still been using fireplaces for heat. Now that heat pumps and NG are so cheap, I can't be bothered to gather wood for anything other than camping.

I'm always wondering why there are signs around campsites saying not to gather the wood... then later in the summer we get signs saying no campfires due to the fire danger. Seems the fire problem has an easy remedy.

If natural fires aren't allowed to periodically clear the debris, there must be an artificial method or it will become a disaster.
