I totally agree with you.  Everybody here does.  Comments made here are, I’m sure, referring to the notion that California won’t clear deadwood etc to save cost of doing so, and then claims federal relief money when fires get out of control.. We know that’s not the fault of normal people, just public officials who value money more than people... Yes some building fires look very suspicious, and I bet nobody died in them...  but that’s probably just criminals doing what criminals do...
