There are fires here year after year; media push a flawed story that there is somehow not supposed to BE fires in Southern Cali. Ahem.
Ever been hiking in the San Gabriels? What do you see and smell there? You see brush and sage; both are native to the region.
You probably bring back some sage because it smells so good. But don't forget that what you're smelling is also fuel; fuel that burns.
The ignition doesn't matter: whether it's a lightening strike or a match, brush and sage are *meant* to burn. It's a natural, good process.
Listen to indigenous peoples in Southern Cali or you look at fire history, you'll know brush and sage areas always burn. It's not new here!
What used to happen in Southern California is that fire would come through a brush region; it would burn and burn slowly over months.
In the past, people didn't die in the Southern California fires because they weren't ignorant enough to try to live in a carpet bomb.
Might be interested in the book Wilderburbs, from a former forest service firefighter.
Thank you. Will check it out! @JesseKenn
