[option]"I just don't see why this is an issue," yawns an official in the Forestry Department @@RANDOMNAME@@, casually lighting a cigarette with a disposable lighter. "Controlled burns are a proven way to reduce fires and a cheap way to do it, too. Fires are totally a natural part of the ecosystem, and we simply are making sure it doesn't get out of hand. So what if @@CAPITAL@@ almost got burned? We'll get better, I promise."

[option]"You can't do this!" coughs @@RANDOMNAME@@, an environmental activist who was in your office last year protesting for animal welfare, eyeing the candle on your desk nervously. "The smoke from these controlled burns is just making more air pollution and inflaming my bronchitis. But besides that, those bumbling amateurs in red almost burnt my home down! Stop this so-called 'controlled burns' program and go back to actually fighting fires."

[option]"You know what's better than that? A compromise!" exclaims land developer and obsessive chainsaw salesman @@RANDOMNAME@@. "All you need to do is remove those small and non-merchantable trees by hand with chainsaws. It'll be expensive and not as natural, sure, but it leaves the forest there and it gets rid of the fuel for the fires, and there's no smoke! Do we have a deal?"
