What are people's opinions on wildfires in California?

As a (somewhat educated) Californian, my humble opinion is that they are a deadly prerequisite for new life. Lightning strikes account for very few of the wildfires that occur each year. SmokeyBear would say that 90% of wildfires (or more) are caused by human carelessness. An arboreal specialist would tell us that each tree harbors at least 100 lives. Proper management of our forests (including control of the underbrush) would reduce the number of wildfires each year. Without the cleansing effect of wildfires, forests would be unable to evolve.


Where are wildfires most likely to form in the US?

Wildfires are most likely to form in the western United States due to the region's dry climate and vegetation that is susceptible to burning. States such as California, Oregon, and Washington experience a high frequency of wildfires.
