like the article, I am not saying that increase in budget will fight the fire situation 100%, but it could probably prevent such a level of damage to a smaller scale.
This post is more of why government is not keen on preventative maintenance? Recently we read articles about health care, insurance, now fire prevention. Yes I am aware some preventative is costly, but in the long run wouldn't it be cheaper?
Why take such a risk?
My wife and I take a physical each year to make sure we don't get "surprises" and get taken out of commission (still can happen but less likely)
Remember the whole hurricane and New Orleans? The Levees's budget was cut and maintenance w was neglected and the city paid the price and STILL trying to recover. Again, not that it would save the city 100% but I'm sure it wouldn't have been as bad (as many hindsight expert have said. I am not expert and just quoting from the news)
The only preventative maintenance that the U.S. DO care about is their weapons
