After working in forestry for over thirty years, I know a little about fires and forest management to keep them at a minimum. *AND CALIFORNIA?* Is doing exactly what they *_SHOULDN'T_* be doing! When you don't allow any logging of the older dead trees (and there's a LOT of them for many reasons) you supply massive amounts of fuel for a fire. Even if they would go in to clean the forest floor a little, it would help. Instead California bans any type of management, almost *_BEGGING_* for massive fires! Let this sink in..... California is the *_ONLY_* state where insurance companies are canceling fire insurance for homeowners! And there are *MANY STATES* that have the same amount (or more) of forest acreage and dry heat! _This can be laid _*_SQUARELY_*_ at the foot of liberalism! 'In short? _*_Gavin Newsom._*

Have you known fires to melt vehicles and leave trees standing

@SoutheastArizona 6 күн бұрын

Yes ,but the state responsibility areas are the lower elevations, mostly private property, including this fire. Most of the forests in California are the national forests managed by the federal government...

@danialhillmann5374 yes. Cars are full of flammable materials. Living trees are green wood full of water, not cured firewood. Although the outer bark does burn. The dead standing trees to fully burn. It's not lasers from space, buddy.

Imagine if they put armies of "A.I. drones" to use in order to combat fires. But instead, they're mostly toys for wealthy wackadoodles, or weapons for warfare.
