Fires can start anywhere but they will flourish in an area where it is illegal to harvest dead wood.

Do you have any facts to back that up? I have never seen that mentioned as any of the unique reasons Calif. has forest fires. |

I suspect there isn't a big demand for cord word where those fires are popping up. Around here I love to scoop up some free firewood after our Northeasters, but in some of those million dollar homes with the panoramic views; I'm pretty sure they aren't looking for wood for heat.

If you have seen the recent damage then you would realize these are not expensive homes for the most part.

When your state government makes it damn near illegal or impossible to actually cut firewood or bring it in from another state, most people tend to use "socialized heating" where they are forever dependent on city gas, oil or electricity. When you cut your own firewood you feel more independent and less reliant on others to provide heat for your family, so it is only natural for Californians to find ways to limit or prohibit this. |

 So it's all a liberal conspiracy to enslave the people by lashing them to public utilities |

Pls. share - that is why I asked.
I thought it had a lot to do w/the type of wood there, the hills/canyons, the wind they get, the rain in the spring which turns things green and then the veg. dies in the summer/fall due to lack of rain. The forests aren't the same as here or Norway either. |

I think TDF said it once so now he thinks he’s all read up on the topic. Only prohibitions I’ve ever heard of are for areas under quarantine because of disease or insect infestation.
