Keep in mind forest management means cleaning up the dead fallen trees.
It does not mean “let it burn.”

The reason that California has large, out-of-control fires is lack of management, which can include prescribed burning. There are various forms of forest management. Some terrain is too steep to harvest timber. Also burning is the cheapest management option.

But most of all, low intensity fire is beneficial: https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs_other/rmrs_2010_keane_r003.pdf
