Fully agree. One issue we need overcome with controlled burns is liability. When groups, including governments, engage in controlled burns, they are often financially responsible for any damages that occur.
Even though these damages are orders of magnitude less than what we see without action, the personal costs of this liability can be wildly prohibative.
I think this was discussed in Robin Wall Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweetgrass" but I may be misremembering.
