"Wildfires that make national headlines". I can't think of the last time a Texas wildfire made the national news. California has two right mow, and had another one a month or so ago.
What exactly is your point? Alaska is a billion times less densely populated.
If a tree burns down in a forest and there aren't any people in a 100 mile radius, does it fucking matter?

What im saying is, you gotta look at other factors to determine efficency. We have one state where theres barely any fires, but they do a huge amount of damage and another where theres tons of fires, but comparatively, the invidividual damage they do *per fire* is very little
-
As such it can be argued that the firefighters in CA do a way better job because they have way more fires yet way less damage *per fire* now if youre talking prevention, thats another issue per se.

The funny thing is prevention is actually how you end up with bigger fires. You prevent the old dead dry wood from burning long enough and what you've made is a giant tinder box.
