In California, underbrush is actually managed somewhat decently on state owned land, the problem is, most land is not state owned, nor is it managed well, so, it all catches fire and once a fire is going, it tends to not really require underbrush to spread so all land is vulnerable. This has been the case for decades now, and the state refuses to do anything about it.
