Do they prescribe burn out west?

Between the incompetence of not understanding how to execute controlled burns and of course anarchists setting fires we can see what Democrat rule brings you.

There are no prescribed burns in California. The state government passed laws years ago to prevent forest management. Newsome wants to blame the fires on global warming (just to be clear, I am not arguing that global warming is not real) and not poor management of the resources.

I am about 50 miles from the largest of the fires in Northern California and have several friends who work for Cal Fire. They have been frustrated for years because the state government will not permit the controlled burns to keep this from happening. I can't speak for Oregon and Washington's policy, but my guess is that they have similar situations. The first attached photo is the school I work at Wednesday at 2:00 pm. The second is from my parent's deck on Thursday afternoon.

Local leadership seems to always be absolved from responsibility for the communities they serve as long as they have a certain letter next to their name

" Many were so severe that they manufactured their own weather ..."

If only Democrats knew how to run their states.

Article is total garbage.

Headline should have been "Preventable wildfires ravaged the state, that continues to be underprepared for what happens every other year."

This is nature folks. Prescribed burning is a common core principal of land management. It isn't optional. Either you burn it, or nature will. This is nothing new. People have been practicing this for 100 years.

Its intentional Tapate.

I know I'm crazy but this is all a plan for 2020.

Much longer than 100 years. One of the articles I linked to discussed the expertise and knowledge of a native american tribe in California.

at what point does the 100% democratic government of California take some blame?

Come on now.

This is somehow a failure of leadership from Trump.
