Dammifino, but Texas is not on the news. California is. And they Used to proactively clear . That's what needs done. Preventing runaway fires can't cost nearly what waiting for the inevitable raging fire brings.

 I'd be interested in hearing how to mitigate fire in the current geographical space of CA that is affected.  Its done in CO to a degree but a lot of private land gets in the way, and almost nothing about CO BLM mitigation process works in CA since the topography and foliage densities are different.

 Where is the information that indicates that CA used to proactively clear in the past at a rate higher than they do now?  The BLM doesn't show this information.

I remember when they did.
I remember when they took precautions in Yellowstone.
I'm over sixty. And I was paying attention.

 Have they reduced fire mitigation techniques on Yellowstone?

 Who has indicated that there are fewer mitigation methods being used in CA today than in the past?  Where is this information coming from?

 I ask because CO has increased mitigation and also has had more fires.  So more fires is not an indication in CO of how much land has had mitigation measures taken.  The logic that the BLM has done less because there are more fires in CO is incorrect.

Oh gee, so you did get the gist of my post to begin with.....
Why all the diversionary action then?

Yes, Obama did it too, that was my point, morally.

In cali, all property owners are responsible for cutting fire breaks around the perimeter of their property and a defensible fire zone around structures.

Wild fires are historically prevalent in cali and promotes growth.
The poppy fields is one example, and typically explode in growth after a fire.

It was said in the past that these wild fires are being fed with fuel that hasn't burned in a 100 years due to the fire suppression efforts in the past.

Whatever policies have been used, I think it's reasonable to say
New ideas are needed.
It's not working
