No my point is stop overfunding firefighting. Over fund forest management.

At the risk of being an idiot, is the problem firefighting? Is the problem that we're continuing a losing battle? That, even when we had proper forest management, the costs were still shifting towards firefighting? Warming making everything drier on average?

In the end though the only one we're truly hurting is ourselves and our desired life style when it burns out of control.

Firefighting makes the next fire worse. You need to have a theory that doesn't involve more expensive fire fighting every time someone builds a new house. This is general means defending towns and letting the mountainside burn.

Unfortunately, it's not a binary tradeoff.
