Lots of the areas that burned were under FEDERAL (mis)management, I have read. Beware of barking up the wrong tree. Not that CA isn’t crazy and incompetent, but there’s plenty of federal blame for these from how I can read the data

True, but California Environmental laws prevent the Feds from cutting fire breaks. Even though they lack the authority, the Feds defer to the State when it comes to environmental laws, at least in Cali.

Sounds like a federal issue.

Not that I love the idiot government here, but the President should be a bit better informed. Plenty of blame for the state, but calling out CA because of FEDERAL mismanagement of lands?
