How about treating these fires as the natural disaster they are and fund them as such instead of depleting the forest service funding which could be used to prevent these fires.

The Resilient Federal Forests Act would do just that.

Dear Rep. Westerman, I support the bill, but please check your facts. Non of the current fires in SoCal started on Federal lands. All county brush and grass lands. Same during the October fires in NorCal. I read your bill and I don’t see funding for state and county land.

Not the Thomas Fire burning the Los Padres National Forest? Or the Wilson Fire in the Angeles National Forest?
-
Thomas Fire started on county land, and after he Santa Ana winds stopped, the fire reversed and burned up onto the Los Padres. Wilson Fire was a couple months ago. Both are burning, or burnt in chapparell. Not timber.

its called climate change DUMBASS

It is called silviculture, the practice of forestry. As an educated and licensed forester, I can tell you that simply blaming it on climate change doesn't fix the problem. Forests need active management to stay healthy and resilient.

Oh I am aware of siliviculture. Dont think you understand what it means. Its great you remember a big word from a chapter you read in college. You may be licensed but you dont seem to educated. Maybe you should read Kevin O'Hara. Brush up and get back to me.

Not a lot of forest in the region that's burning, if you ever been there you would know this, you just want to Log the national forest for profit, Reveal your donors behind your legislation, so we can see who's pockets are lined
#midterms -
Some of the largest fires are in the Angeles and Los Padres National Forests.
-
How long did it take you to figure that out
