    Strongest winds in decades. Plus land management to decrease fire risk usually means clearing out all the wildlife and growth. So there’s always a balance to not decimate the land more than you need to.

      Plus you get the bonus that if you remove vegetation and it rains (hello torrential atmospheric river), then you get catastrophic mud slides. There is no good solution, especially economically.

      Pave the planet so it is impervious to rain and fire. /s

      Controlled burns and removal of dead material. There are more options than clear cutting.
