Hey do you forget this is all about forestry management, or lack of? Lack of water supply that was purposely shut off by the dip shit state government. This is not a federal issue, this is a California state government issue. Cali burned with Joe Biden in office and he didn’t do dick for them, or Hawaii.

Can’t change what’s already taken place as far as disaster. What matters now and in the future is funding and staffing. No one is doing forestry management so don’t pretend it’s backed by either political party you dope. The water supply would have been completely inundated no matter where the fire took place. I mean, if you really know what you’re talking about…

These fire should have never happened, and you are a moron if you think proper forest management doesn’t take place in other states. These fires happen from incompetent at the state level and even county level. Take accountability, that’s what the fire service is built on. Are you even a FF? Half of this sub Reddit isn’t and that’s clear as day, nothing but a bunch of trump hating trolls
