Sure, and here's what has changed between then and now:
1. A much longer and drier dry season
2. A much larger urban-wilderness interface
3. A much more organized public apparatus to combat environmental hazards (even in cases like this which require tradeoffs against more severe future risks)
The reason this is such a challenging problem today is not because everyone living in 2025 is a moron or morally corrupt and the people in the 70s were not.
