Poll: Punish Fire Starters

Red hot. That's a fair description of cdapress.com readers who were asked this question: What should be done with people who accidentally start forest and wildland fires? Here's how they answered:

  • A stern lecture - 56 votes (6.4 percent)
  • A steep fine - 289 votes (33.2 percent)
  • Jail time - 34 votes (3.9 percent)
  • All of the above - 490 votes (56.4 percent)

Question: Do you agree with the results of this poll?
