Meanwhile, back at the ranch, there was no problem with ranchers fighting their own fires until the Bureau of Land Management showed up.

Lyons looks out over a plot of BLM land--studded with sage brush. Ranchers have been grazing here for decades, and they say they've been fighting fire just as long.The story goes on to a happy ending, and that is the Hegemon backing off. Any time you can get the Hegemon out of any activity, all improves.
