IF iwas Governor of California, i would call for a Winter conference on a new Strategy for stopping wildfires as soon as they start as the primary goal.

Early satellite sensing and reporting.

Early help locally with red flame retardant drops by helos, by National Guard.

Big 4 engine prop planes parked at every airport staffed by National Guard for early high flame retardant drops on forests and suburban fringes.

And much bigger fire breaks in foothills and coastal oily flammable brush.

We must do more than "oh well" !!
