    Sounds like you should apply for a job in the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, seeing as you’ve got it all figured out.

    In fact, you should try sending them a letter with all of your suggestions! I’m sure they would appreciate any amount of your in-depth knowledge of forest fire prevention that you could provide them

      This is a hard fallacy. Plenty of usa states under support their water systems, and im supposed to send them a letter telling them to spend their money better? Ha!

      There’s hundreds of studies and research on this. Ca just wont make this a priority…and why should they? They get a free handout for fires.

      My state needs to focus on our own fires, homeless, children in school. Giving up our human resources for another just kicks our resources to another who isn’t managing their house.

      One citation for you: https://www.netzerocalifornia.org/blog/how-can-california-pay-for-wildfire-prevention-at-scale

      If you wont take care of your states natural resources, a letter from an out of state citizen wont change the ledger.

      Either you care about the environment and want it fixed, or you dont want it fixed and support the finger in the da that leads to death and property destruction every year 40 years running.

      If your neighbors house is on fire, give them a hose, help and support

      But after the 40th time, your perspective should change to “the nEighbor is the problem.”
