California Burning
The wild fires in California return year after year with devastating results. But the good citizens wait until a fire starts and then start to chop firebreaks so the flames won’t spread. This waiting is dangerous, difficult and sometimes costs human life.
It would be a lot better if firebreaks were cut on a regular basis, in advance of the dry season, so when a fire does start, it has no chance of taking over the entire region.
This is called planning. Duh. Okay, so maybe they aren't so smart in Southern California, but I wonder why the insurance companies, who loathe paying out even a single dime, haven’t thought of this simple protective step.
