"After a fire like this, there's only a short window of opportunity to hasten forest rehabilitation, to reduce the risks of flooding and insect epidemics and future fires, and to capture at least some of economic benefit from the dead and dying trees to help pay for those restoration costs." --U.S. Senator Jon Kyl speaking on the Senate floor to introduce S. 1344, The Arizona Wallow Fire Recovery and Monitoring Act, legislation that would expedite the removal of hazard, dead and dying trees in the community protection management areas in the Wallow Fire area -- Arizona's largest forest fire on record. July 11, 2011.
