In 2020, the Beachie Creek Fire burned 1/3 of the Freres Lumber timberland. Freres feels that the Forest Service didn’t follow the fire plan and saw equipment parked when it could have been used on the fire. Instead, the fire was unattended for nine days while the Forest Service fought other fires. While the Federal Government enjoys a high level of immunity from lawsuits, entities can sue for damages caused by negligent acts of government employees.
