1m per year, sounds dumb but can’t we just dig a fire break like we do in the tree lines

We probably could but the practicality of it would depend on how deep and wide the vein is. If it's 100m deep and 50m wide it's probably too expensive to dig a suitable trench out to completely cut off the vein. Also, it wouldn't stop the fire, it would just prevent it from spreading any further.

They COULD do that to save the environment. OR say fuck it and ignore it.
