If the government owns the land around YOUR property, don't be able to protect yours. People think they can have both national forests and mountain homes. Sorry, it doesn't work like that in real life. There's that threat of fire here in Colorado and I sit literally right on the firebreak line. The town is opposite my home. Good luck getting the government to respect private property when it won't even respect the rule of law in our country.

It’s also not surprising when people build homes in an area that burns regularly.
I mean many rural areas of California depend on regular wildfires to keep the ecosystem in line, but regular smaller fires, which use up small amounts of fuel and naturally clear the deadwood.
Hell, there are plants that don’t even germinate until after a fire (then someone goes and builds a home in the middle of this area and wants to insure it, and gets po'd when they can't get a homeowners' policy on an area 40 miles form the nearest fire station that burns every 20 years, ha).
