The far-left Mother Jones caught onto this years ago. Of course, now the lefties blame Trump, instead.

Exactly. It’s basic science. I live in New England and we occasionally have small forest fires in spring and fall that are usually handled by the local FD and a few mutual aid companies for a ATV, tankers, personnel, etc. Keep in mind we don’t have large county level FDs like LAFD which has 140 engines and 40+ trucks. You have say cites like Hartford with 11 engines and 5 ladders and each surrounding town which may have 2-3 engines and one ladder, etc.

Most fires will maybe burn only a few acres at most. This past fall was dry and we did have some “CA style” fires that burned hundreds or thousands of acres and burned for weeks. The difference is here larger lots and some sort of forest management, even just homeowners chopping down trees on the edge of their lots.
