Major disaster in Cali
Looks like Rvers Cutting that brush back and thinning the woods would sure make a lot of sense. And save lives and property along with untold numbers of wildlife killed in these blazes.

In reading comments from a CA resident this morning, it seems that it is local homeowners that do not want the burns to clear underlying brush. They are afraid it won't be controlled, so vote it down.
Well yeah it has to be hand cleared the first time since they let it grow out of control for decades. After that occasional safe burnings can work since it has not built up to the level that it ignites tree tops and causes a conflagration. We got a real visual demonstration from a ranger walk in Bryce once, the ranger pointed out the grossly overgrown forest and said it had 8 times more vegetation than was safe to burn. You skip the burns then you pay the price one way or the other. Pay labor to clear it or wait for it to burn to ashes.
