BRUCE BABBITT, SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
COWAN ON CAM:
The original plan called for the Park Service to only burn about a
thousand acres. The steep rocky terrain, officials thought would help
contain the blaze. And although there was always the chance it could get
out of control, homes were never part of the equation.
.woman crying..
In a matter of hours - 260 were gone - and 400 families were paying
for someone elses mistake.
For the Browns - 26 years went up with the 50-thousand acres. But
they are not angry - the fire they say, was angry enough.
GLORIA BROWN, RESIDENT:
I think maybe Roy Weaver used bad judgement, but hes a human being and
Im sure hes hurting, twice as much, 10 times, a 100 times more than
we are.
Although Weaver was up front about taking responsibility for the
fire - an old law may shield the federal government from liability.
Lawsuits could take years - unless Congress acts first.
REP. TOM UDALL, D-NM
I think clearly this rests at the feet of the federal government and
should be the federal government that steps up to the plate and says
were going to take care of these losses.
In 1976, it did. Despite warning from geologists - the federal
government built the Teton Dam on unstable ground. When it burst -
Congress appropriated 200 million dollars to help residents rebuild.
And although the House has already taken steps to do the same again
- residents here know paying for a house - cant bring back a home.
