"For the first time ever, CalFire announced that it has met its prescribed fire goals through the month of May and also noted its fuel reduction goals were met as well. They are now treating 700,000 acres a year, along with their federal partners, and in 2023, set a record of 730,000 acres of treated landscape.

So far, there have been 3,200 wildfires in California, with 95% of those being human-caused. The stated goal of the representatives was to keep all these fires small and respond to them quickly with a rapid initial attack. They pressed on, stating that fuel projects and Rx burns will be a priority going forward, with increased funding, grants, and reduced regulations to complete the projects."

Remember 57% of land in CA is federal including the San Gabriel national forest.
