Building houses without concrete and bricks and then located in the woods - what can go wrong.
What I don’t understand- most countries have fire fighting airplanes for these things.
How in a world US being a country with such a mighty economy - doesn’t have them or doesn’t want to use them. Pathetic
California didn’t used to burn like this. Yeah, there were fires, but they were far more rare and didn’t affect as many people because the state wasn’t as populous and nowhere near as short of water.
As to your second statement, it’s bullshit. Wth the “mighty economy” statement has to do with anything. There’s a huge firefighting industry on the west coast and in California, both ground and air. They are using aircraft, even with a temporary stop due to high winds.

The US absolutely does have those planes. (That’s 1 example, [here are others]https://www.fs.usda.gov/managing-land/fire/planes)) But high winds are keeping most of them from operating (the winds are what is spreading the fires).
They are using helicopters, but those can’t carry as much.
Can’t target properly with 100MPH winds
Bricks and mortar houses would burn, too under these circumstances.
