That’s exactly what controlled fires do, they do them every year in Florida because we get so many lighting strikes. Notice how our state doesn’t burn down every single month because we do maintenance to our forests.
From what I can tell you’se have no Eucalyptus and you’re a colder state compared to Cali, by like 10 degrees on extreme (when fires are at highest risk), and from memory Florida is meant to be humid as fuck. I’m not at all surprised you don’t have as many big fires.
We don’t have fires because the state spends money to ensure all preventive measures are being done and maintained. Meanwhile in la they cut the fireman budget by 20 million this year. We have small fires started by lightning and other sources often that get contained and dealt with easily because of those measures. Not because the air was so humid that lightning wasn’t hot enough to start a fire Jesus fucking Christ listen to yourself.
You guys don’t spend money to ensure shit is being done correctly when compared to CA except maybe making sure brown people and the gays are harassed as hard as possible
Keep comparisons of your 3rd world state away from us, you aren’t even close to our level
Mate, you cannot stop the fires in those conditions. Your idea that it’s because you “maintain” natural environments and not the climate and environmental differences is frankly without any standing.
Much could be done to minimise the impacts of large fires, but they are bound to happen with frequency regardless of what you do do.
Bushfires can easily jump containment and embers can travel for 10-20km floating in the air before starting another fire nearby, meanwhile the trees are combusting at 1200 degrees Celsius.
Bushfires are fucked, you don’t get it because you don’t come from the right climate.
My understanding is that Trump apparently tweeted something about how California doesn’t maintain its forests, so that’s probably what started spreading this all over.

Florida is very wet.
Southern California is semi-arid.
Yeah, nah mate.

Having been to Florida and living in CA:

Enjoy your bi monthly fires you fucking morons. Our fire fighters will be busy making sure we don’t have to.
