  1. Fires do not “break out”. How did this start? It had to be human caused. Was it an arsonist? A cigarette? Let’s start finding out so that we can address the reasons and try to stop fires. Brush does not cause fires. The super bloom does not cause fires. Humans cause fires. We need to start addressing why we are causing these fires and try to stop humans from starting them.
