There is not much lightning in coastal areas. This will probably work to reduce the amount of wildfires, which will create more fuel for the next fire and give the politicians justification for future crazy restrictions.
Alaska is headed that way. Burn permits didn't exist here 10 years ago. Now you need one for anything other than a 3' campfire in the summer months and they cancel them on a whim.
Yeah coastal regions are also much wetter and have the corresponding ecosystems that result in substantially lower natural burn frequencies. But they do burn naturally every 50 to 100 years and the burns are more intense as a result. So yes human caused forest fires at greater intervals would reduce severity of the big burns.
I’m just pointing out how delusion it is to attempt to “avoid” forest fires in general. I think you get that.
