Comment on MSNBC Attacks Trump And Musk For Telling The Truth About Suspicious LA Fires

It is also the case that a lot of underbrush was not routinely removed… This is somewhat understandable when we are talking about forest fires in more remote parts of California.
The big issue is that underbrush in various parts near Los Angeles suburbs and throughout the area had not been dealt with.
The Getty Mansion and museum grounds were fully within the line of the fire that was coming, but they privately maintained their own grounds and insured that the underbrush that works as kindling for these fires was handled, and even have their own means of fighting fires that would start there… And they were completely fine even though many places all around them burnt down.

Oh for sure routine maintenance is super important, like when they do controlled burns.
