The article contains some inflammatory rhetoric in the quote from Margo Whitt about human lives not being worth risking for dead and downed trees. However, this does not constitute a formal fallacy as it is an expression of concern rather than a false statement or incorrect reasoning. There are no other apparent fallacies in the article.
“When it started, it started down in the canyon with a 70% grade. You can’t walk on that. You can’t stand on that, and you sure can’t run a chainsaw on that. So we can’t put people in there. It’s just, it’s you know, human lives are not worth dead and downed trees.”
