The Onion

In extremely undue seriousness, many wildfires are both necessary and inevitable. Forests where wildfires are common just get more and more flammable. Without occasional release, one lightning bolt can set a zillion acres on fire, because there's no natural barriers where available fuel was recently consumed.

Well There's Your Problem did an episode which eventually gets around to the 2018 Camp fire. The circumstances for one shitty power junction causing sixteen billion dollars in damages and eighty-five deaths should ideally be avoided, because again, the sky itself sometimes lights shit up. Forest management that accepts fire as part of the environment can make the difference between 'these hundred acres burned down off-schedule' and 'literally a third of Yellowstone is gone.'
