For 100 years, local/state/federal policies try to prevent wildfires. Which makes as much sense as preventing earthquakes. You can’t do it.

You can cut back chaparral. You can put out small fires. You can pray. And you’ll maybe avoid a big fire for 9 years. Watch out on year 10.

Chaparral, also known as brush, smells wonderful! That’s because it’s full of oil. That oil attracts fire. Because that fire means survival.

You can try and suppress that big fire all you want. But it’s inevitable. It *will* burn. All you’re doing is wasting valuable resources.

Except it’s highly unlikely that it’s climate change that’s causing this fire. Try understanding LA and/or listen to indigenous folks.
