In reply to Sean. Right, but it is expensive to lay under ground power - going all solar will help some folks. Part of the trouble is counties let people build in indefensible fire fighting spaces with poor access roads. In Placer county, around Auburn, there are old roads where two cars can not even pass.

In reply to olddpd. What they really need to do is make the grid more resistant to wind damage as downed electrical wires look to be the spark that set off many of the recent blazes. Buried lines or use elevated lines which could withstand 100 MPH winds would likely have prevented the ignition of several blazes..

You would think CA could print money like the Feds can. I forgot we the taxpayers are on the hook for all the insane boondoggles in this state.
And to top that off sanctuary statehood sending a clear signal to the world come to CA we will protect no matter if you are an illegal immigrant.
Sac and other cities are building homes for the homeless again telling the all of the US come here will we build you a house.
When is the bankrupcy coming to CA? We are already there we are just being lied about how good it is here.
And the media do not say a word about any of it.

Maybe the “State” should make sure there is adequate water for fire fighting rather than waste it on the “Train to nowhere”.
