People like to blame various west coast states for this, but do note it's mostly federal land, managed by federal employees. East coasters tend to not comprehend how much federal land there is in the southwest/west; watching tourists is fun.

Yea I'm not blaming the state governments because I don't know who's responsible for burns, just pointing out that the end result is the west coast is a tinderbox relative to the rest of the country
