Absolutely, completely, totally wrong. CalFire's total funding for fire protection, resource management, and fire prevention has grown from $800 million in 2005-06 to an estimated $3.7 billion in 2021-22.
You'd think now is the time to start cutting the wild grasses in the state for fire prevention like they did before, but no, those programs were de-funded 30+ years ago.
@@pinverarityYou know nothing of this issue and you are ether nieve or a troll. They are shutting down remote fire stations where it would help fires like this from spreading and laying off firefighters. I know several of them. They should be doing controlled burns and felling dead trees on a massive scale but the money is being spent on other things instead of men and equipment so next year they can ask for even more.
DC.10 firebombers have been dropping huge loads non stop on the thompson fire. Its at zero containment , the planes no matter how impressive they look are not the saviors people want them to be. Not even the 747. If the wind blows hard nothing stops a fire, the wind is blowing near 30mph towards Oroville today again.
Thank you for timely communication on these fires
If only California would stop defunding fire fighters so maybe we can save our forest 🌳 but nope. They need the land to be vacant

Better to stay quiet, than to say brainless things and prove you know zero.
Facebook is not a good news source, nor is FOX.

Yup, totally false. The funding has gone up... except the money is not used wisely.
Luckily here in the Illinois we didn’t get any wildfire smoke.
They need to bring back the mighty 747 firefighting tanker.
