    Good movie on the topic.........

    One of my oldest daughters boyfriends was getting into firefighting so I watched several, including this one & the history of fire fighting....... I learned a trick or two, hopefully that I never need to use..
    You don't think it might be a good time to remind people of their history? I think there are many that think wildfires are a new phenomena, of course if you have an agenda to pursue like most of the mainstream media then you can understand their silence especially so close to the election.

    I have a thread on the topic right now & have essentially said what I think about it, & have come to the same conclusions those in the clip did.....

    That is exactly what I see in much of Calif now....... 100+ years buildup of trees so thick a man can't walk in there..

    Yes, telling them is good, when I am out hiking I preach it all the time, as do a few others that know about it.. One particular leader worked in a mill for 20+ years & is often preaching about the overgrowth...

    Sadly some of the area he milled is burning again...... Not been touched since they closed 30 years ago......... This is the section that did not burn back in 2008..
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Scientific reality eh? You really wanna talk science? I know you Marxist sacks of shit love to say you respect the science yet you rarely do. What is the flashpoint for wood? Science guy.

    Deadwood from poor forest management beetle kill disease and drought causes the fires. Good forest management can reduce the fuel that feed the fires. That reduces their intensity and makes them more manageable.

    You might want to say that loud and clear to the many thick as shit liberals on here that tried to shout me down. Think of all the twats that were laughing at Trump for him using the word raking. Let me think of a few, oh yes, Joanie, Doris, Moonshi'ite, Dumber666, Nomads, Runeatic, Croc o' Shite, Arsecheese to name but a few!

    Federal government scientists? Not reliable. Too biased.

    Wonder if any of those "federal government scientists" the OP holds in such high regard can explain that?

    Exterior water sprinklers trees cleared well away from a house and non-combustible roofing materials should all be part of the formula

    Question: Why are the other Western states--the ones not run by Progressive Leftist Democrats for decades--not burning to the ground too? Arizona has forest fires every year. This has been a particularly mild season, as one example. Why aren't these states suffering devastating wildfires if it's all due to Gorebal Warming?

    I should be on that list as well.......

    The term does not translate well into American....

    lol

    While it could be effective in some areas,(along w/ other methods) it would not be in the Mts here as the terrain is high, steep & many trees are very large..

    There is over 33 million acres, much of it needing attention now..

    Anything could prob help on a local level-the longer they wait, the worse it will get.....

    Trump was Right about “Raking” Finnish Forests

    HEAVY MACHINERY “RAKES” FINLAND’S FOREST FLOORS AFTER TREE-CUTTING, GREATLY REDUCING FIRE RISKS
