As a quarter-million Californians fled from the path of a series of deadly wildfires, and thousands of firefighters did battle on the front lines, President Trump issued a statement threatening to withhold federal disaster aid and attacking California fire policies.
In response to Trump’s tweet blaming California’s horrific wildfires on supposed forest mismanagement (a claim which is false) and threatening to withhold federal funds, California Professional Firefighters gently reminds the Ignoramus-in-Chief that any supposed forest mismanagement is his own fault:
“The president’s assertion that California’s forest management policies are to blame for catastrophic wildfire is dangerously wrong. Wildfires are sparked and spread not only in forested areas but in populated areas and open fields fueled by parched vegetation, high winds, low humidity and geography. Moreover, nearly 60 percent of California forests are under federal management, and another one-third under private control. It is the federal government that has chosen to divert resources away from forest management, not California.”
Brian Rice, president of the California Professional Firefighters, talks about progress being made against the deadly, raging fires in California, and why Donald Trump's ill-informed criticism was particularly unhelpful.
