California was meant to burn…finally someone gets it!

[roydamnmercer]

I’ve been saying this for decades…not that they’re listening to me, but all those wildfires out West are a result of…wait for it…poor wildfire management practices…like putting out every single fire that occurs. You need to let some burn. Burning is healthy and natural to the environment. Putting them all out is unnatural. Man tries to outsmart nature and nature will show you who’s boss!

The prescribed burn begins on a California hill with a drip torch to light brush, needles and fallen branches, the flames spreading out on the forest floor far below the tree canopy.

They have been burning forever. Never burning allows the underbrush and leaf litter to buildup so when it starts burning it’s a way more dangerous event.

I read years ago that Cali was not practicing the Controlled burning, for fire control. They said partly do to climate change..Horse crap do to so much thatch building up and a lack of burning, provide a great dry fuel for the fires.

Yeah, you gotta burn off that underbrush . If you don’t it will be uncontrollable when it accidentally catches a fire. Plus it just helps with the new growth and everything along those lines.
