Did lawsuits contribute to the terrible California fires?

Those terrible California fires - I read where often, environmentalists bring lawsuits that prohibit the cleaning out of underbrush that acts as kindling in those areas - Is this true and a contributing factor there ?

Answer #1

Definately, we all need to send our thoughts/prayers to those affected by this disaster - some lost lives, so many houses gone, so many irreplacable memory items destroyed - lives altered.

Answer #2

Could be, the environmental laws in Oregon have contributed over the years to fires there. The problem is in Oregon (and I imagine here in CA as well) that the environmental legislation goes too far right or left, nobody wants to see a happy medium kind of solution.

Been trying to reach my friends in San Diego all day, too, with no luck…I hope they & everybody else are OK down in SD.
