No need for an apology. There is nothing wrong with not knowing about something you have very little if any dealings with.
The BLM is charged with protecting the land from idiots who think it is a hoot to go out and purposely destroy land. Not honest, caring, concerned, recreatiionists. They leave the wildfire management to the U.S. Department of Forrestry.
Here in the U.S. for the most part education about what is kept on site is on a wait until asked basis. Then when asked the will disclose evrything kept on site. Allthough some communities hae them disclose to people living or working in a distance determined locally.
After the release of methyl isocyanate (a poisonous gas used in pesticides and in making rubber and adhesives at the Union Carbide plant on December
3, 1984, here in the U.S local communities formed what is known as the L.A.P.C. or Local Arear Planing Committee. This group collects information on hazardous materials stored any where in the city including dentist and doctors offices (compressed gases such as Nitrous oxide, ether etc.) they work at keeping a list of all hazardous materials and working with the businesses on ensuring safety practices are followed. The committee usually is comprised of local busiesses engaged with haz-mat, police, fire, departments, Red Cross, hospitals, ambulances and any one from the general popuation interested community safety.
You are welcome providing education in disasters and safety is the main reason I am here.
