David Lee Roth nailed this one.

The Los Angeles DEI led fire disasters will surpass the 2018 Camp Fire
because liberals learn nothing.

Fire hazard studies
The footprint of the Camp Fire had experienced 13 large wildfires since
1999 and 42 large wildfires since 1914.[11] In 2008, the Humboldt Fire
and the Butte Lightning Complex burned 100,000 acres (40,470 ha) on
either side of Paradise, killing two people and destroying hundreds of buildings in the region.[11][12] In 2005, the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) released a fire management plan
for the region, which warned that the town of Paradise was at risk for
an east wind-driven conflagration similar to the Oakland firestorm of
1991.[13]

In June 2009, a Butte County civil grand jury report concluded that the
roads leading from Paradise and Upper Ridge communities had "significant constraints" and "capacity limitations" on their use as evacuation
routes.[14] The report noted a combination of road conditions "which
increases the fire danger and the possibility of being closed due to
fire and or smoke", namely sharp curves, inadequate shoulders, and fire
hazards adjacent to shoulders, such as "fire fuel and steep slopes".[14]
The report also recommended a moratorium on new home construction in
fire-prone areas.[11] In September 2009 however, the Butte County Board
of Supervisors called the grand jury report "not reasonable", citing
improved building codes and fire prevention requirements as arguments
against a moratorium.[11]

Despite these reports, Paradise city planners did not include study
results in new plans. In 2009, the town of Paradise proposed a reduced
number of travel lanes on the roadways and received state funding from
the California Department of Transportation to implement a road diet
along Skyway, Pearson Road, and Clark Road, three of the town's main thoroughfares and evacuation routes.[15] Paradise planners opted in
March 2015 to convert Skyway into a one-way route during emergencies, effectively doubling its capacity.[13] Despite this change, the roads
out of Paradise were only capable of evacuating around a fourth of the population within two hours.[13]
