CA Fires

[Mudslinger]

One was definitely started by a pyrotechnic device at a gender reveal party. they arrested one guy for starting a fire, not sure how big, but let him go and he started 6 more.
Mis-management of the national forests is the cause of these fires to get so massive and destructive.

Which laws are you referring to? Are you trying to imply that you are not allowed to clear brush off of your land on private property? California law is the opposite of that. In high risk areas, homeowners are required to remove all undergrowth and vegetation from within 100’ of their homes and structures.

No, I was asking a question. But I keep hearing that there are dead trees serving as kindling all over the northwest and that CA and other states don't allow it to be cleared as well as forest maintenance. Fake news I guess.

The most liberal and greenest state in the US and their ideas continue to fail. This is exactly what happens when you inhabit chaparral desert that is a fire dominant community. More houses are built and more supression efforts are made to protect them, then when the right spark happens it all goes up in a massive blaze. The fuels aren't drying out, they are always dry, you've just continued to let the fuels build for years on end between fires.

I wonder if one were to be in Cali with forestry people, wildlife biologist, scientist', if they are "in line" with liberal BS or if they're frustrated because they know and understand exactly what's causing these fires.

Environmental activists don’t like forest management practices. They don’t like controlled burns because they pollute the air (even though there were actually more wild fires before humans began using fire suppression) and they don’t like forest thinning because it involves the removal of trees.
It’s much better for their fragile minds and the environment to blame humanity and specifically the republicans for climate change.

so tie their azzes to some trees and set the forest ablaze and see if they would like it put out.
