[HEADING=2]Fire officials stress climate's role over forest management in preventing California blazes[/HEADING]

CALIFORNIA, USA — As firefighters fight [flames]('https://www.abc10.com/wildfire') in Los Angeles, they're also fighting misinformation as people claim these fires could have been prevented with forest management. However, experts say there's much more to minimizing fire risks than just prescribed burns.
In an effort to curb wildfires, California aims to treat a million acres of land in the state each year. Cal Fire plays a major role in these fuel reduction projects, along with other agencies.

"500,000 acres from the federal areas, and then 500,000 between Cal Fire and then all of our local response areas. And to divide it even further, Cal Fire's goal is to treat 100,000 acres every year," Acuna said.
Cal Fire is the state's fire agency, and the department met its goals for the previous fiscal year. This comes after Republican lawmakers criticized the state on Monday, saying California is not meeting its goals as fires continue to burn in Southern California.
"There was a commitment to do 500,000 acres a year in treatment. It was a partnership between the state and the federal government that the governor was proud to announce when it came out. We have gotten no where near meeting those goals," said Asm. James Gallagher (R-Yuba City).
The U.S. Forest Service is part of the state's partnership and part of the Eaton Fire is burning in their jurisdiction. As of October 2024, USFS says statewide, it has done 3,500 acres of prescribed burns and more than 5,000 acres of mechanical treatments. USFS says weather has played a big factor in trying to clear fuel in Southern California.
"Southern California has not seen conditions appropriate for prescribed burning since last spring. Certainly, we are not in any kind of condition in the southern half of the state to be looking at those prescribed fires now," said Adrinne Freeman, with USFS.
ABC10 asked if anything could have been done to prevent the destructive spread of the Southern California fires.
"There's nothing. Let's just start with that. The conditions that we saw in Southern California last Tuesday were in above the 99.99th percentile of severity," Freeman said.
Environmental experts at Stanford University agree that climate plays a major role in fire risks and management.
"Even a large scale fire break probably wouldn't have been effective in keeping the wildfire out of the communities. And once the communities are burning, the spread is from home to home, and it doesn't really have anything to do with the forest management," said Chris Field, with Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment.

While fires may be difficult to prevent, fire officials and scientists say homeowners can help minimize the spread by hardening their homes and property.
So far this fiscal year, Cal Fire says it has treated just under 50,000 acres. There is also a dashboard to keep track of the [fuel reduction projects.]('https://www.fire.ca.gov/what-we-do/natural-resource-management/fuels-reduction')

I do not see where I typed his name.

That's not what i said or asked.....but forget it don't want to over tax you.

You may run wild now because i'm going off line.. adios Kevin

let me tell you something...if you agree with all the right wing stuff posted you got a problem. I have plenty better to do with my time...this is shits and giggles. But you are right I am wasting more time than it deserves. If it is more than that for you than you need to find something better to do with your time. We post whats happening in the world......not everything in the world we ABSOLUTELY agree with. So some of that I don't agree with and is a contrarian post to what else was posted....SO WHAT!!!!!!! CRY ME A RIVER!!!! Hell i have a lot of liberal chit happening in the world to post but ya beat me to it.

No I did not vote for TRUMP either time. Yes I did vote for every republican president since late 70S? CEPT HIM

Yes I do hope trump does well and just might in spite of himself.

If not hell I'm white and retired///// Not on the hit list

So if this is all too much for some of you to take CANY can poof me to the cornfield AGAIN....or you can shoot yourself and end the pain. I never seen such carrying on. I take a lot more chit than i give out. Discussing politics is like this....we all know that after what 20 years????

SHALOM!!! :)

No, I don't agree with everything, I don't think the world is flat, we did go to the moon and I don't think there's a conspiracy to wipe out the population with a vaccine.

You'll also note that I don't invest anywhere near as much time here as some people.

And if you look much earlier in the thread I did point out that you can't have a "What's Going In The World" thread and prohibit political discussion. But I'm not management here, although maybe we should unsticky that thread.

Political discussion is all well and good as long as it's a discussion. Just whizzing on people to get a rise out of them is a pointless exercise and contributes nothing but animosity.

But, as you pointed out, nobody is convincing anybody of anything anyway. So I guess it's business as usual for you and us.

Carry on.

I think he went to the after breakfast nap.

Irish breakfast? :confused:

I'm not too concerned. But since he took the time to actually respond instead of one of his cut'n-pastes I thought I'd take a moment to answer. He can read it when he wakes up, or not.
