"Improper forest management" is just another typical cheap, easy-to-produce right-wingnut lie that they find comforting. The Santa Monica mountains around Pacific Palisades, and the south-facing slopes of the San Gabriel mountains above Altadena, are not "forest" (some higher elevation areas in the San Gabriels *are* forest, but that's not what burned this time). The hills above the burn areas are covered in chaparral, which is dense and impenetrable. *This*

There is no accessible "floor" under chaparral, so you can't "rake the forest floor" (what a bullshit concept anyway). Nearly all chaparral plants are extremely flammable, and in fact, many of them *only* reproduce after an area has burned: seed pods only open under intense heat.

You can clear brush immediately behind residential areas that abut chaparral-covered hillsides, and most communities in southern California require
that (and it is done), but that's not going to do any good if a fire in chaparral gets going and is driven by 100 mph winds. The burning embers can and do travel for miles. Once houses start burning in winds of that speed, the houses become the fuel, not the brush.

This map shows the burn area in Altadena from the Eaton fire: https://i.imgur.com/WsqOIpN.jpeg

The hills at the top rise more than 2000 feet from the residential area in less than a mile. You do *not* clear those hills. If you do, flooding and mudslides as damaging as the fires result.

No one blabbering about "forest management" and the L.A. area fires has a clue what he's bullshitting about. And the same goes for "water supply." None of the lying right-wingnuts have a clue.
