Missing from this article is that Trump's been tweeting about this for over a year and has taken steps to reduce federal requirements (and reopen some logging) over the strenuous objections of California.

With 29 dead and counting from the Paradise fire that has taken no less than 6,500 homes (and quite likely double that number) and has 50,000+ evacuated - well, guess they can find solace in Governor Jerry ‘Moonbeam’ Brown's assertion that this is the new abnormal due to global warming and probably their fault for not driving electric cars...

Glad he could be bothered to return to the state to sign the disaster declaration - oh, right, probably because the Jenner estate was burned rather than an entire town of 27k+ people in NorCal.

In Oregon they’ve finally opened up the forrests back to the big companies like Weyerhouser and smaller logging companies are starting to bloom again too. More logging and clearing & new roads in. All because of Trump’s easing of regulations. It’s a good thing for the forrests and the loggers/Mills.
