Underbrush removal and controlled burns worked great until the the Clintons canceled it all. Raking the forests worked. They closed the roads and called them "unroads". They were quickly overgrown and rendered useless so fire fighters couldn't access the areas. This was a plan. It was intentional and still is.
They closed millions or acres to the public. They don't want you on their land.
We haven't had rain since early November here, when it dropped 35 degrees in a week, and before that it was early September I think. We usually get similar weather to SoKal. That's a major factor.
How to not to fight fires. Appoint a DEI hire a fire chief and then it emphasize skin color, sex and gayness over competence. Then let the fuel supply accumulate. Cut the fire department budget to fund illegal immigration. Then don't fill the reservoirs.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass went on a junket to Ghana as part of a Biden administration delegation to President John Dramani's inauguration despite indications that fire season was about to begin.

Bass is reportedly on her way back as of Wednesday morning and "should return to the city within hours," according to Newsweek. To that, Los Angelenos should probably give a collective shrug and go back to whatever they were doing — because Bass and the rest of California's ruling Democrats have baked in the damage already.
Let's start with this little tidbit.
Cutting fire protection in Los Angeles is like turning off tornado warning sirens in Oklahoma City. It might not come back to bite you right away on the rear end, but eventually, it's guaranteed to.
When you think of fighting fires, probably one of the first things you think of is water — and lots of it. And yet making sure there was plenty of water wasn't on Los Angeles County's to-do list.
All the money goes for the things that the California voters want. High speed rail to nowhere. Medical care and welfare for illegal aliens. Jail for illegal alien criminals. Schooling (or what passes as education) for illegal aliens. Wages and pensions for government workers who don't provide value for their jobs from the state legislature, judges, prosecutors, the homeless grift and the green energy fraud.
Officials estimate it could cost about $35 billion to finish the first line from Bakersfield to Merced and roughly $100 billion more to complete the route from Los Angeles to San Francisco — about $100 billion more than what was originally proposed years ago. And the source of most funds is unclear.

And plenty of others... you live in socal this is what you get....
Not easily preventable but forest and water management could vastly reduce the carnage
Keep voting democrat and this is what you get
If Worshington weather didn't suck the same would happen here. In fact it does during dry spells
Trump always right. I remember the retards here - TRUMP WANTS TO VACUUM THE FOREST LOLOLOL
Jay Chinslee kind of improved forest management last season - but years of fuckery still accounted for 'smoke season'.
What the fuck is 'smoke season'? That was never a thing in my youth.
Drill baby drill needs to be rephrased as "Timber baby timber" in the PNW. Make Weyerhaeuser great again. I want my cheap WOOD!
I said this to someone a couple summers ago… "It was never like this when I was growing up"
My brother was a DNR fire fighter during summers when he was in college. When there were no fires they cleared brush aka fuel
There is a reason it wasn't like this
Is that the one you fought in the garage?

This was all intentional. Same as the last 4 years of chaos.
When does Biden pardon the mayor of LA and the fire chief?
They need to let the cows in like they used to and goats
I don’t believe it's intentional, I believe it's incompetence....
Usually the best bet
And greed. Who knows what they do with all the money
If we only paid more taxes
"Who knows what they do with all the money…"

How much will the project cost?
Officials estimate it could cost about $35 billion to finish the first line from Bakersfield to Merced and roughly $100 billion more to complete the route from Los Angeles to San Francisco — about $100 billion more than what was originally proposed years ago. And the source of most funds is unclear.
Transjender surgery in jail etc lol
2% cut to the city fire department's budget did this
