    True, they don’t have the same kind of wind usually but their forests are immensely more flammable.

    I’m not an expert but from everything I can find about this topic it seems like fire prevention absolutely could have avoided most of the houses that burned down.

      Very hard call. It is rainy season, but drought during rainy season. If it rains next week, problem solved. If you remove all vegetation now, and it rains next week, mud slides.
