California Fires: A Man-Made Disaster

The current fires ravaging California, particularly in Los Angeles, are attributed not to natural causes but to a series of poor political decisions. This includes the refusal to manage brush and debris, which environmentalists claim could disturb local wildlife, leading to catastrophic fire conditions. The consequences are evident, with entire neighborhoods, such as Pacific Palisades, suffering devastating losses. Personal accounts highlight the tragic reality, including many individuals losing their homes, emphasizing that this disaster was avoidable through responsible management practices.
