This exactly. We didn't wildland fires more than a few thousand acres before they killed the thriving timber industry in the Sierras. Look at a map of historical fires, and you'll see that the fires in the 1960s and before are much smaller. My dad worked at camp sierra for many years and told stories of being able to walk through the forest of the sierras without encountering underbrush that would make walking in any direction difficult. If you went up to that same area before this fire, that was far from the reality today. You can't walk without climbing over downed trees and through thickets of manzanita, gooseberries and other garbage understory, much of it dead...Tree mortality was the final nail that turned mismanagement into this deadly rager of a fire.
You can almost see my house in that map.
This is what the Sierra Club causes with its stupid bullshit. As usual, retarded virtue signalers fuck it up for the rest of society.
