Trails also provide access in case of fire and provide foresters access for management practices.

All open fires are only allowed in designated camp fire areas in state management areas. Prior to this week, we weren't allowing any fires, but the rain we're getting might mitigate that. I don't foresee a long term ban in the management areas. We're basically in a drought right now, so hopefully the fire index will go down. The ground needs to be wet enough so fires don't get out of control.

This is very good news for professional fire management in the Western Cape especially, as these have been the most severe fires ever recorded in the region.

We think they have already lit a fire under management to a degree, persuading it to take several positive actions. We expect it to continue on this course. So the Icahn group may lose the battle but, if the stock goes up, it will have won the war.

Can any reasonable person now blame the staff, if the management that congratulates you for going beyond the call of duty, refuses to look out for you when you're becoming ill, because of their own ineptitude.

When they got new management, they went the cheaper way.
