The parts of this fire that you heard about (LNU and CZU complexes) were not caused by lack of controlled burn (some fires in the Sierra Nevada probably are). In particular North Napa and Lake counties have both burned in the same area in the last 5 years so it's sort of gibberish, while the redwood areas (like north of Santa Cruz) are not forests that regularly burn... and it is still logged which didn't stop the progression. Sadly, this expert isn't an expert on these fires... there are others where his comments would be relevant. The idea of doing controlled burns in areas that recently burned (already causing many $Billions of damage to crops and real estate) or in redwood forests which require a firestorm to ignite in a populated region with many more $Billions in real estate and 10s of thousands of inhabitants which boarder cities of millions... would be hilarious, if it wasn't so dangerous. Look at the caltopo website if you want to look at the area burning and what has previously burned. https://caltopo.com/map.html?fbclid=IwAR3Bd6K6XaKR-S_Co9io8iEWdT2CdjXz1SwEVsSjX2_uLZjXRoRzvyiBE5w#ll=38.84613,-122.84088&z=9&b=mbt&a=cf10%2Cfire https://caltopo.com/map.html?fbclid=IwAR3Bd6K6XaKR-S_Co9io8i...
