Anyone who thinks you can "rake the forests" has no concept of the volume of brush and fuel involved and the acres. It can't be raked and logging does no good. The only way it can be cleaned up is fire. The federal lands they will likely let burn. They will try to protect settlements and buildings if possible. Here in Mariposa County parcel size is 5 acres or more. When we get a big fire they do a pretty good job and few houses are lost.

Now that honor has moved north, but this morning and every morning when I go outside that is the aroma, smoke. Cars are covered in ash. I've lived in California since 58, here in Morro Bay since 79 and this is by far the worst I've seen. Many landmarks are no more.
