This....AND woefully deficient, shamefully ninept, criminally insuficient initial attack resources. Dereliction of duty on the part of Cal Fire.

No excuse.

I am a former USFS wildland firefighter I know it is true

No doubt at all that CalFire is incompetent. One of their biggest mistakes is squandering resources fighting minor fires in the early season when it safe to let them burn. That’s exactly when they should be setting prescribed fires in areas with overgrown brush. The 2016 created lots of ladder fuels which were going to inevnitably burn. They should have mostly been burned in 2016 and 2017.
