Wind-Fueled Wildfires in L.A.

CNN Newsroom | These fires have been blowing through these logged areas and burning down mountain towns — it makes climate change worse. And that’s driving bigger fires. But the biggest issue is that most of these communities are nowhere near a forest. They’re in foothills, they’re in grasslands, they’re in chaparral shrub habitat. We’re putting the money and the resources and the focus and attention in all the wrong places. We need to do a 180 reversal and focus our resources and attention on creating fire safe communities — better evacuation planning, better evacuation assistance, home hardening.
