You can “save” a bunch of money by not paying the Fire Department. It’ll look great on a budget, and then you can enjoy the beautiful skyline of your city burning!
That’s true! I just looked for the website and there’s nothing! Yay!!! I was worried something like 1.2 million Americans were dead because of it, but apparently not!
There is a degree to which wild fires could be solved “just” by ramping up land management significantly to remove invasive species, remove dead growth and overgrowth, etc.
The wildfires have been so bad primarily because of invasive species changing what grows where and breaking down natural fire protections, combined with climate change and reduced natural wildfires creating higher fire risk conditions
My understanding is they also introduced Australian trees that drop huge amounts of combustible material to contribute to fires because they thrive in those conditions

This is what they’re doing, but with literally everything.
The country is going to implode.
Oh hey, I think we did that in 2017 with our pandemic response team. I hear there have been no negative consequences
There’s no evidence of negative consequences.

(Satire. The CDC website still exists. For now…)
It reminds me of sim city budget.
Is that what happened with the forest fires?

But how could I? Especially without firemen to start the glow.
Hard to enjoy when the air quality is so bad that you can’t even breath outside lol
