Well, this year, the fires in california have already engulfed 3. 3 million acres. Thats the size of 8 of the 9 bay area counties minorious sonoma, but the fires keep growing and growing and growing. Theres been a longstanding job in the Sierra Nevada that severely weakened tens of millions of trees. That stresses them by taxing and ultimately stopping their ability to take on nourishment, damages their immune systems, and their ability to defend themselves from heat, disease, pin and secretary infestation. The 2012, 2015 drought drouth, killed hundreds of millions of treats. Now those trees are starting to fall. Reporter with temperatures inching ever higher, the bark beetle population into consideration the trees, devastating the forests. All of that adds readily burnable future to future fires.

California has built themselves into this urban rural phase that has made it difficult to manage hours. They history of the state of california is fires. We started putting them out about 100 years ago, so the forests do need to be cleaned up, but Climate Change is also cautioning it. Its all of it together. Ive been around a long time, and hate to see these things get muddled. Yeah, the for es need to burn. Thats what they do, and people need to think about where they build.
