Dear Editor,
Maybe now those who earn a livelihood off the mountain slopes of eastern Jamaica will think twice before they light an uncontrolled fire, whether to clear bush -- which should be illegal, with stiff fines/penalties -- or to burn trash.
As to monitoring of the area, the advent of inexpensive, camera-carrying, remote drones now make the early detection of fire outbreaks more than affordable.
