Because it is ineffectual if local government is on the matter?
These forest fire problems are the result of piss poor forest management, and very few people die, it is just a lot of property damage.
It is not a Jihadi plot.
Chapter XII: The Attack by Fire
1. Sun Tzu said: There are five ways of attacking with fire. The first is to burn soldiers in their camp; the second is to burn stores; the third is to burn baggage trains; the fourth is to burn arsenals and magazines; the fifth is to hurl dropping fire amongst the enemy.
2. In order to carry out an attack, we must have means available. The material for raising fire should always be kept in readiness.
3. There is a proper season for making attacks with fire, and special days for starting a conflagration.
4. The proper season is when the weather is very dry; the special days are those when the moon is in the constellations of the Sieve, the Wall, the Wing or the Cross-bar; for these four are all days of rising wind.
5. In attacking with fire, one should be prepared to meet five possible developments:
6. (1) When fire breaks out inside to enemy's camp, respond at once with an attack from without.
7. (2) If there is an outbreak of fire, but the enemy's soldiers remain quiet, bide your time and do not attack.8. (3) When the force of the flames has reached its height, follow it up with an attack, if that is practicable; if not, stay where you are.9. (4) If it is possible to make an assault with fire from without, do not wait for it to break out within, but deliver your attack at a favorable moment.
10. (5) When you start a fire, be to windward of it. Do not attack from the leeward.11. A wind that rises in the daytime lasts long, but a night breeze soon falls.12. In every army, the five developments connected with fire must be known, the movements of the stars calculated, and a watch kept for the proper days.13. Hence those who use fire as an aid to the attack show intelligence; those who use water as an aid to the attack gain an accession of strength.
