      The only way for California fires to stop is to burn down more trees not stop them. If trees begin to burn due to a spark like the Carr fire, it's likely that the cause of it is due to large amounts of volatile oil producing trees or pyrophytic trees in the region like pine trees and eucalyptus trees. Pyrophytic trees encourage the initiation of bushfires by producing these oils so that they can propagate their seeds around. Its how they have adapted to thrive and populate. The best way to fight against these fires is by conducting regular controlled burnings of tree dense regions to 1. lessen the volatile oil residue and 2. burn off branches and dry materials that can fuel the fire going. Controlled fires have already been shown to be an effective way of combating fires in Victoria Australia, British Columbia Canada and many other tree dense locations. This is known as controlled fires and prescribed burning respectively in Australia and Canada. If fires can be easily caused by a mere few sparks, educating people about 'being mindful of how we spark fires isn't going to help' because accidents happen. The best thing to do is to combat the problem first before it becomes problematic.

      California is now free cremation state if you want to die just move to the fire zones and it will be done. I don't feel sorry for people who want to stay in harms way so the wise have left 6 million in the last 4 years so hats off to them California is going to burn for years to come and we can't afford 90,000 firemen and rescue and water 25,000 water trucks ready that would eat all the bonus money up so you are almost 100% guaranteed to burn lives are more important than property the sheriff's already said that he doesn't want to cut into his budget and get a thousand to 5,000 more police officers to help you oh no can't do that that cost too much money and you won't get a good bonus and his budget will be overblown oh no the government can print as much money as it wants but you're not important believe me we print money for stuff that we don't need all the time weapons military we've spent all kinds of money on that that we don't have but when it comes to your house burn it up too dang bad don't have it know who to vote for next time better vote for someone that really cares about hiring 50 to 60 thousand people to help you guys move in case of a fire and have water tanks ready if I was governor that would all change no matter what the budget is I would blow it all to save you all are even if people have to work for free that will be done and by the way the sheriff also said he has no plan that can help you in a major chaos like this one it's happening now because he doesn't want to hire more tanker trucks own are we our resources are all stretched because we got to look at my bonuses at the end the year oh no can't pay you know time to revamp California the most richest state the average house for the United States is $261000 the average in California is $461000 they have the money but they don't want to share with you so good luck and take a hike like I would like smart people did

    Everyone talks about California getting wildfires, (which is all fine), but no one seems to be talking about Oregon and Washington getting wildfires it seems.
    In most years, OR and WA have seen far larger and worse fires than California relative to the size of their states (although with much less destroyed housing and property by far). Based on historic burn maps of the U.S., the most heavily burned regions are located in the Pacific Northwest. It's sad to see all our beautiful forests and mountains on fire-especially as an avid hiker, myself. A history of wildfire suppression, intense/unrestrained logging leading to dense re-growth in past years, and climate change (causing lower spring snowpacks and drier summers) have all made fires worse in Oregon and Washington. We need to do more controlled burns, halt ALL logging on public lands, fight climate change, and designate more protected land to to save our last remaining old growth trees that are more resistant to wildfires.

His auto insurance company paid the fire fighting costs, about $25,000. This happened in the early 90's.

    There's a subtle problem with this (something I learned more about when I went to Smokey The Bear Museum in Capitan NM recently): some forest fires are better for the forest than others. If regular brush fires are allowed and don't spark crown fires, then the areas underneath the older growth trees will be cleared more regularly.
    True, population moving into these areas makes this worse, as *allowing* a smaller fire might be politically untenable, but the really bad huge crown fires can be prevented and regular underbrush can be cleared without harming old growth trees. Maybe pass legislation that if you're in a moderately high fire area, then small brush fires can be allowed up to maybe 200' of your property and that property owners would be responsible for clearing underbrush on the remaining area closer to the house.

      My Thoughts you obviously don’t know what it actually is... And most scientists never said that the planet would be underwater by now, only some more alarmist people said that. Right now the sea level is increasing by 1 Centimeter each year, which is not much, but over time (like 100 years, it will add up.
      And also, there’s no denying that the Arctic is melting, so much so that they’re already having some cargo ships go through the northwest passage (a route through the north of Canada which is projected to be be Ice free by 2050). And also Russia is already planning some military bases in the artctic in the future to secure their claims for oil there (once the ice melts, it will be much easier to access the oil there.)
      The only thing conservatives actually argue about is if it’s natural, or caused by humans (which it definitely is caused by humans, since from just 1970 to now, the arctic ice sheet has shrunk so much in a short period of time geologically)

      Sensei Adam Look into the Geoengineering of the planet and weather manipulation. Before climate change can be discussed at any level, this must be considered. The fires all across the west are no accident. Homes with tile roofs don't completely turn into dust. Fires cannot burn that hot in open air where oxygen is the fuel. This is why bodies won't burn to ash unless in an oxygen starved furnace.

    You mentioned nothing about one of the other very severe problems, our old system of never letting some fires burn in controlled ways, creating huge stockpiles of fuel. Firefighting has started to catch on to the idea that fires are often a lot worse because of the past hundred years of firefighting techniques. That doesn't exculpate any of the other causes, but it's a major one too.

    @Fjucnkcbmk 6 років тому

    As a professinal Arborist with two Forestry degrees, I have to say on top of the USFS suppression policies, Enviornmentalists have stopped logging in states like CA to save animals like the spotted owl. With droughts, trees are “stressed” meaning they don’t have all the resources to defend from insects and pathogens. Invasive insects have pillaged much of the west turning more trees into tinder. Coupled with the Santa Ana winds, this is a recepie for a blaze. We must have some way of clearing the forest floor.
    Many tree species out there require low intensity fires for seed dispersal. The problem is these high intensity fires burn the minerals right out of the soil, limiting the chance for things to grow if anything survives the blaze.
    So the problem is us, however it is not going to be solved by people being less negligent. It can only be solved by people who realize the environment is incredibly complex and there is no “solution” in the truest sense of the term, rather a series of more or less desirable outcomes. This video is an oversimplified to a fault. This is a miltivariate problem and their proposed solution is to stop moving into woodlands?

    I live in southern Oregon and currently have two 50K-acre fires within about 15 miles from my front door. These two fires are a couple days away from joining together. These were started by a lightning storm we had in mid-July. Vox has negated to mention one of the really big reasons these fires are getting so big -- FOREST DENSITY. Forests are getting so dense that it makes it virtually impossible to get to fires to put them out. Also, this makes fires burn hotter and move much more quickly.
    Ever since logging here was severely crippled in the early 2000's, large forest fires have become more and more frequent. We've had choking smoke from surrounding fires every single summer since 2011. I've lived here all but 5 years of my life, and it was never this bad up until a few years after logging was cut back. Bringing logging back to the area would greatly reduce the sheer size of these fires.

    The common dry brush such as seen at 1:15 is NOT a native California plant. It was brought over by the Spanish in the 1500's to feed their horses. Green in Winter, dry as a bone in Summer. The seeds spread like wildfire itself, and there are now trillions of acres of this stuff across the state.
