I feel for you. As a new-ish San Diego resident we haven't had any significant impact from fires yet, but the neighborhood near us apparently burned down a decade ago.
I completely agree that more fires are needed, and that fire prevention of the last century (plus global warming) has wrought the disasters we're seeing now. One thing tho…

I completely agree that more fires are needed, and that fire prevention of the last century (plus global warming) has wrought the disasters we're seeing now. One thing though - with an estimate of 4.4-11m acres naturally burning per year, rural communities would continue to see these impacts regardless. You can't just have controlled fires in remote areas, because that would bring no benefit to areas were people live. If there are going to be any communities in forested areas, they will see fires no matter what.
