As usual, climatists get it wrong.
The problem in California stems from the requirement that loggers must
replant forests where they harvest timber, so they dutifully do. The
trees grow back very quickly and result in extreme overgrowth because of
the spacing.
“Forest management is a lot like gardening. You have to keep the forest
open and thin.”
Who is responsible for managing the forests in California? Calfire.
"Long before the country’s founding, Spanish explorers documented wildland
fires in California. In 1542, conquistador Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo sailed
along the coast and noticed smoke billowing up from what is now known as
the Los Angeles Basin. He called it “la baya de los fumos,” or “the bay of
smoke.”"
"The U.S. Forest Service ordered that all wildland fires be extinguished
as soon as possible, eventually settling on the so-called 10 a.m. policy,
which emphasized suppressing fires by the morning after they started.
The state’s policy to stop fires as soon as they ignite resulted in a
backlog of trees in forests now choked with brush and other dry fuels.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, one researcher studying the
Stanislaus National Forest in Northern California found records from 1911
showing just 19 trees per acre in one section of the forest. More than a
century later, the researcher and his team counted 260 trees per acre."
Liberals scream and throw tantrums, but never have long term solutions for
any of the problems.
This one is of their own making.

brush and burn the dead fall while doing little to no damage to healthy
trees. With the mass buildup of debris when a fire does start.. it burns
down everything leaving scorched earth behind, when then erodes away,
causing yet other problems.
Then human activity and their increasing proximity to such forests cause
their own issues. The modern home with vinyl siding, asphalt roofing and PVC
gutters is just a oil soaked tinderbox just waiting for a source of ignition
to touch it off.... this in fire country.
So of course, they aren't going to insure there, because as this fires
rampage through they wipe out enter subdivisions as this ready to ignite
homes are jammed together far to close to prevent a fire in one from
spreading to it's neighbors, and the fire departments can't respond because
they are already tied up at other areas.
