I feel badly for the firefighters but this is a CALIFORNIA issue created by CALIFORNIA bad fire prevention policies and should be paid for by CALIFORNIA funds.
moonbeam must be tone-deaf to ask the feds for ANYTHING at this point.
“I feel badly for the firefighters but this is a CALIFORNIA issue created by CALIFORNIA bad fire prevention policies and should be paid for by CALIFORNIA funds.”
No.
It was MOSTLY the US EPA that has caused this, and other catastrophic wildfires in CA and the West.
They will not allow livestock or humans to clear the forests of underbrush. If you’re within a quarter mile of any stream or river, clearing and livestock are off limits.
That’s nearly 100% of Northern California. Going west of Redding you can travel 100 miles, 80 miles wide, and see a stream every 1/4 mile. Or so.
It’s all deeply cut rolling hills, or mountains. All Forest.
