…but it costs money to maintain a forest. Who would pay to have the forest floor maintained and firebreaks cut?? The US forest service? Part of USDA budget. Sounds like a likely partner for the states involved. Do they have a plan?? They certainly pay enough in advertising that might be better placed in action. I personally know for a fact that during forest fire “off season” other US government agencies employ/use our Fire fighters in other non-related roles where they might be better utilized in functions that might mitigate fire threats. This has nothing to do with politics but a lot to do with misuse of a valuable asset
