I can believe it. I live in the desert, and there's either too much rain, which creates fuel for summer fires, or not enough, which dries out the fuel for summer fires, which means there's always a "high fire danger" in summer. What it really boils down to, though, is that the government(s) don't want you going out into the wilderness and possibly starting a fire that they have to spend money putting out, money they've already spent on something else (like "education").
