Unfortunately we don’t do forest management, thinning out brush, etc. as had been done in decades past. So these fires are worse in part because there is more fuel to burn when a fire does break out.
The liberal view is that global warming is causing all these fires. The liberal view is that the fires are worse in recent years because of global warming. So there are very different opinions about what causes these fires.
I’m glad that at least for now, fire departments are still allowed to fully use fossil fueled vehicles and equipment to fight the fires.
Exactly right....
That's a big part of it. Also, allowing the expansion of living residences to migrate towards the heavily forested areas didn't help. This forced a lot of the firefighter services to deal with saving lives and residences rather than go directly to containing the fires.
You would think that people would get a clue. Antifa/BLM are arsonists.
Now go figure.
Get rid of the terrorists and most of the fires will stop being started.
Two Oregon fires have been deemed ARSON.
