The reason they have fewer firefighters is due to CA is fighting 28 major fires...spreading out 14,000 among them. One of the incident team leads said at briefing last night that they have 1,336 fire fighters on it when they normally would have on a fire that size 3,000-4,000.
To me, that fails to explain why CA hasn’t pulled more personnel from other states. The feds brought in a 2nd top-level incident team from the Great Basinto manage the northern frontline of the fire. But I haven’t heard personnel from other states coming in.
talked to one supervisor of an Arizona team
they just came back from 21 days in California

Demoncrats released prisoners that usually work the fire lines for COVID-19. So they’re rioting in cities around the country instead of fighting fires.
