If the freaking liberals and environmentalists would allow the US Forest Service to do control burns frequently and plow fire breaks, they wouldn’t have all these out of control wild fires. Idiots. They won’t even let homeowners clear the brush around their homes. Just how stupid do you have to be to not see that if you do nothing, mother nature will do it for you. Idiots.

Brush Regulations
California is well known for brush and wildfires, which affect the safety of homeowners. Public Resources Code 4291 requires property owners to keep 100 feet of space clear around any building or structure on their property. If your home or any outdoor structures are less than 100 feet from your property line, then you must clear the area up to the property line. Brush and other types of vegetation serve as fuel for a brush fire. According to the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, removing the brush increases the building’s chances of surviving a fire.
It's worse than that. They require brush clearing, but won't allow it!
You know what’s so funny, the people working Yellowstone figured that out in ‘89. They spent year after year suppressing a fire shortly after it started, until the fateful year where all the dry, dead wood simply burned up. The inferno was so bad, the flame retardants simply did close to nothing, in fact, sometimes it made zones of the Park desolate so that plants wouldn’t grow.
