Maintaining healthy forests can be done many ways. One easy way that California prohibits is prescribed fire: https://www.arb.ca.gov/drdb/but/curhtml/r300.pdf Note that those "air quality" regulations apply to all land, private, state or federal. Note also that those Butte county regulations only allow 6,000 acres to be burned at any one time. That means the few weeks to a month or two at the end of the rainy season, before the hot and dry season, is not nearly enough time to burn the more than a million acres in Butte county.

Furthermore CalFire was putting out fires early in the dry season instead of setting fires in areas with dangerous buildup. They learned nothing from the Napa Valley tragedy. They also banned private burning in Butte county in early June while it was still safe to do so.

The blood is on their hands, mainly CARB and the county AQ board. They decided that a little smoke for a few weeks was too high a price to pay for the needed removal of brush, much of which grew in the 2015-2016 rainy season. Instead they burned scores of people alive. I think the current estimate of over 1000 missing is an overestimate. I am hoping anyway.

There’s not much you can do when it doesn’t rain at all for eight months
I always joke here in CA that you can go anywhere on the east coast with a blowtorch and nothing will happen
It’s so dense and green you can’t even walk through it
Fire is simply a part of life in the west
The trees actually love fire
