But firefighters said the real reasons were a lack of personnel to combat out-of-control blazes in Southern California.

    Not personnel.

    • clear cut forests
    • replant overly dense for farming lumber
    • in a climate dependent on regular smaller fires, fight every fire for 150 years
    • allow and subsidize the buildup of atmospheric carbon and the runaway of global warming and climate change
    • ignore all scientific evidence and pursue only short-term profits

    … Then act surprised and blame everything but the actual problem when mega fires bloom ever larger and more out of control year after year. They even signed a non binding agreement basically agreeing to the above. And, this very much isn’t just California, they just have the local climate with a drought/flood cycle that really exacerbates the cycle.

      (stop wildfires from ever happening as they naturally do to protect property, which leads to a massive build up of very flammable brush, and once a fire finally gets out of hand, instead of being rather small as happens naturally, there is immense amounts of flammable dead wood and brush which turns it into an uncontrollable monster).
