  1. One question. Just how much does the California State DNR or Forest Service do to clear out undergrowth and scrup to limit the fuel supply to these fires. Or is this prevented rue to policy or legal actions on the part of "environmentists". There are multiple parts of the problem. 1) Fires are likely part of the lifecycle of the ecosystems. Also fires resulting from dry summers 2) Overdevelopment and people living in areas at risk to wildfires. 3) Under or complete lack of management by state and county agencies. I hate to say this but paying to manage wild fire risks nay take tax dollars but is most likely cheaper than just trying to stop fires once they start. If people with homes had to pay an extra surcharge n their property taxes to manage that risk. Well. They choose to live there. 4) The Human Factor. Idiots who are careless with smoking materials, campfires etc. That is one thing that you can try and educate people about. But nature keeps creating a worse model of idiot.
