Chaparral is a shrubland plant community found primarily in California, in southern Oregon and in the northern portion of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico. It is shaped by a Mediterranean climate (mild wet winters and hot dry summers) and infrequent, high-intensity crown fires.
Democrats would blame something like "climate change" or terrorism but this was completely foreseen, forewarned, and required a program of regularly cutting brush. This was a Democrat government failure.
