In the past, fires used to burn slowly, and in patches: old growth would burn a lot... but it would get restricted by new growth.

Letting fire burn in the sage and chaparral regions of Southern California is the only way we avoid the GIGANTIC fires we're known for now.

Look at Mount Wilson: The LA Times documented long, slow burning fires there in 1896. And 1898. And 1900. That's what's BEEN happening.

But now, the forestry puts fires out in an INSTANT. Our policy is one of fire *suppression* that only makes things worse.

As someone who knows that climate change is spurring all kinds of disasters, I also know that it's not spurring these Southern Cali fires.

You're right in that climate does make the fire season *longer* @Crayz9000
