Trump promotes the idea of 'raking the forests' to mitigate wildfires without acknowledging federal land ownership and budget constraints. California is facing an exceptionally fire-prone season due to heavy rains, leading to dense underbrush. To effectively combat this, deploying thousands of Forest Service workers to manage underbrush removal is essential. However, Trump does not take these actions and maintains budget cuts affecting essential services, showing a lack of commitment to wildfire prevention.
Trump frequently advises California governors that they need to 'rake the forests' to prevent fires, ignoring that the federal government owns most lands in question.
To effectively reduce wildfire risks, Trump could deploy thousands of U.S. Forest Service workers to cut and remove underbrush, instead of making superficial recommendations.
California faces an unusually fire-prone season, attributed to heavy rain and snowfall contributing to thick underbrush, necessitating urgent action to mitigate wildfire danger.
The maintenance of budget cuts to vital services responsible for wildfire prevention reflects a broader policy failure in addressing the risks of wildfires in California.
