I love the San Gabriels and the Angeles forest. But I don’t love the backwards fire suppression policies we’ve implemented there.

People act like Mt. Wilson’s never been on fire before but ask indigenous peoples: it’s been smoldering way before it was named Mt. Wilson.

I seriously doubt people act like it's never been on fire before, since it was just on fire a year ago.

Someone on FB just posted a wildfire live feed with the words: “I’ve lived here my whole life and have never seen it like this before.”

Then that person is probably a child. My house burned down in 1992 when the fire came down Mount Wilson into our foothill canyon.

They’re 27, so not a child. You’re right that many people do know they happen every year. But many also assume it’s the first time.

Sorry. I'm a bit on edge whenever it happens b/c all it takes is a wind surge & life gets very unpredictable.

No need to apologize. I honestly do wish everyone remembered the fire last year.
