That’s good the work is not seasonal. The permanent workers should be 90% focused on fuel reduction and fire breaks.

I hope they can use some of this money and personnel on controlled burns and other fire prevention. We spend way too much managing the symptoms rather than the disease.
Or we could just let sheep graze the hills. Would be a cheap alternative to guy prevention and would make some farmers happy too.
Yeah I think a lot more reforms are needed than just this, but I’m hoping this will play a part.
I’d personally much rather restore wild herbivores than expand livestock grazing but if the former isn’t viable then I’m open to the latter.
Good, but I feel like they let PG&E off with a slap on the wrist. I'm not 100% sure they were 100% responsible for that fire, but I do believe they were more negligent than they were fined for. Nothing "personal" against PG&E or anything like that but I feel like they could have had better safety regulations that may or may not have prevented that one big fire a few years back.
PG&E went broke, with shareholders losing everything, and the victims ending up with ownership of the firm
Is what should have happened. Instead, bankruptcy protection shed debts, and now they're more profitable than ever before... CPUC has failed the people it was created to protect.
