    I'm not sure if laws can be written to prevent forest fires, but maybe they can be written to outlaw behaviors leading to forest fires. My concern is this: to what extent is this a result of climate change? And what kinds of laws can be passed to curb the results of climate change?

    I definitely think residents should be cautious about these wildfires, considering all the damage it can do to anything in its path. If I was a resident in California I would hold others and myself accountable for any actions that could lead to a wildfire. I think there should be strict laws against anyone that intentionally starts a wildfire, and a serious fine for anyone that unintentionally starts a wildfire to make campers or residents extra cautious.
