learning as much as i can about wildfires. prescribed burns are a prevention tactic to reduce the buildup of vegetation that could serve as fire fuel.

it takes an avg of 4.7 yrs for a prescribed burn to get through environmental reviews. 

80M acres need urgent treatment — that means now, not in 5 years. maddening!

They teach about the Santa Ana winds in firefighter school. They have said for years that one year the right conditions will happen and it will burn to the ocean. No controlled burns or anything people do can stop it. 

This year was not one of those conditions, this happened because of Democrat Soros funded policies which defunded the department and failed to filled the reservoir. 

There is a fine line between incompetence and maliciousness.
