A side effect of monitoring local fires here in L.A. is seeing on the Watch Duty map many prescribed fires around the West.
Studies confirm that this strategy helps. The Forest Service has made changes around Rx fires, new approaches launched in 2022, should be helpful over time.
Hopefully the incoming incompetents won't roll back these changes, but who knows with the orange clown closet.

I don't even like Trump but he was talking about forest management practices to reduce fire risk back before COVID and most people on the left just made fun of him for suggesting that the forests be "raked".
Unlikely these changes will get rolled back
