Ordinarilly I’d say FUgummint ... but if there’s so much tinder around ... why chance it
Agreed. That was how I felt initially as well. And if they make the person who starts the hypothetical fire pay with all their assets for the time and resources that started said fire, it might mitigate the “FUgummint” sentiment, at least for me.
Tough call, on the one hand, you can’t necessarilly control an accidentally started fire, and it can do more damage than you can repair, in minutes. On the other, you have private property rights.

On your patio?
This is socialist excrement.
