The article I linked does a nice job of explaining why these fires are occurring in the first place. It is the governments fault. With private ownership of forests you wouldn't get these tragic fires to begin with. I think San Diegans would be better off had this fire never occurred don't you?

I don't know why you are promoting the government's response to this situation. From what I've read they did an awful job of fighting this fire so far.
