“There are many facets to consider as part of this complex process” -- State Sen. Ben Allen (D-Santa Monica)

Utter Bull Squeeze. "Complex process," my ass. Change building codes to require well-documented and proven fire resistant details in home construction. Clear brush. Don't let reservoirs go out of service. Hire more firemen (MEN) and mechanics to keep equipment in tip-top condition. Add firefighting capacity. Build more reservoirs. Consider emergency pumping of ocean water into water mains to maintain pressure (you can rinse the pipes later).

It isn't complex, nor is it rocket science.

The hot Santa Ana winds will always blow off the desert. You can't stop that. But basic things can change the outcome.

Really? Your compatriots at Lake Tahoe know exactly what to do, how to apply fire-safe and ember-resistant measures to buildings and land and forests. It's not that hard. Also, it's not that expensive, either.

As for infrastructure, all the right stuff used to be there. Maintenance is key -- don't scrimp on it.

I’ve read that throwing DemocRAT state congresscritters on the flames douses them quickly. Give it a try.
