Sadly, it never occurred to people to fireproof their communities. This happens over and over and over again, but it seems California never learns and continues to ignore fundamental safety concerns about fire damage prevention. Californians continue to build in obviously dangerous places, and now we have folks who want to blame the results of this on the production of CO2. Well, putting out the fires would certainly reduce CO2 production... The West Coast has been drying for more than a century. Sadly, it never occurred to people to fireproof their communities.
