So you want us all to live in cities and nobody to live in the country? What about the thousands of head of cattle and crops that are wiped out in the middle of these fires?
If we grazed these lands they would be healthier and stronger, but environmentalist forbid it.
If we practiced proper forest management and selective harvesting it would be healthier, but the environmentalist forbid it.
If our wildland fire authorities and farmers who know the land were allowed to do prescribed burns it would be much healthier and these fires much less severe, but the environmentalist forbid it.
Everything comes with a risk. I live in the country and I am vulnerable to wildfire. I accepted that risk when I moved out here just as a person who lives in a city, a zone that is relatively safe from “wildfire”, but vulnerable to other ills, accepts the risks that come with urban life.
