We own a rural residential property near Chico, CA on top of a mesa in a fire-prone area, and the forest "management" is haphazard, combined with clueless American neighbors whom the city has to force to mow their weeds and remove fuel from their land, and you have a constant battle against stupid and/or lazy people whom don't know how to mange their land and are liabilties to everyone else. I'm often think about "accidentally" chucking a roadflare in their yard to get them with the program. IIRC forest management changed significantly under either Bush Sr. or Clinton.
