What will be an ideal response


Positive: The campaign prevented countless forest fires, saved many lives, and prevented billions of dollars in losses of trees, wildlife, and human structures.

Negative: The campaign convinced much of the public that all forest fires are bad and should be prevented or extinguished. In fact, smaller, more frequent, and less intense fires are beneficial to many species and prevent larger, very destructive fires.
