I thought going to the 3 gallon tank from 5 gallon solved that crisis ???Sea level changes are more effected by flushing your toilet that any kind of climate shift.

Its like a latakia and oriental blend !A few pix that I made for The Philadelphia Inquirer of a controlled burn in the NJ Pine Barrens, 1995:
Can't you just smell it?
I have never been in a tower but have hiked around them. I’m in the mountains of the north and it’s all woodlands here. My front door is about 200 feet from a 3,000 acre WMA.One of the most enjoyable assignments I had while working in The Garden State was spending a day with a ranger in the fire watch tower at Apple Pie Hill, Tabernacle, NJ. If smoke was spotted, they would radio the other towers and triangulate the fire location, then dispatch ground and air resources to investigate and extinguish. Several hours of wonderful silence, just the faint sound of wind in the pines, punctuated by a few minutes of intense radio chatter. The Pine Barrens are an extraordinary place.
Quick, superficial, research, not in depth. Top ten most destructive California wildfires, 1991-2020: 5 power lines or electrical, 1 lightning, 2 human related, 1 rekindle, and one undetermined.All good questions! Unfortunately, we'll never know the answers.
This perfectly illustrates another issue. While there is a preponderance of places to go to get the "official" narrative regarding [fill in the blank], it is decidedly difficult, sometimes impossible, to verify if this information is actually true. I wasn't on site at any of these fires when they started, so there's simply no way to know what in fact happened, official story notwithstanding. One can believe it if one wants, or one can reject it, but the fact is, no one really knows for sure. What I do know is that the providers of so-called official statistics have a multitude of different ways to skew and slant things to fit a particular narrative. This tactic is especially effective in the modern era, where the film Idiocracy is looking more and more like a documentary (not to mention making Rod Serling look practically like a freaking prophet). Predictably, there are almost as many ways to obscure, confound and misdirect any inquisitive and/or skeptical minds that may be on a quest to dig deeper, if such minds are not preoccupied by Kim Kardashian's instagram page. Perhaps this is why your search for stats regarding governmental controlled burns yielded no results, unsurprisingly.Quick, superficial, research, not in depth.

Deeper research would most likely find year by year stats somewhere on the State of California websites. Of course most of the wildfires are caused by debris burning, campfires, arson, discarded cigarettes, and equipment malfunction per "Frontline Wildfire Defense." So, human causes are at the top of the list. I was not able to uncover any stats addressing wildfire caused by government controlled burns. Maybe such is covered in the "human related" stat.
As California is many miles away from me, both in distance and interest/concern, the above is about all I'm willing to spend time on. But, I'm pretty sure official stats are available and, unless terribly embarrassing to the State/Feds, should be available without a formal request for information if, you are interested in the numbers. They, the stats, might provide support for your statement "most of these fires are ...."
Ditto.I understand your beliefs are your reality so, I won't continue this discussion as there is no disputing your reality.
Ditto!But, I do thank you for a bit of an afternoon challenge.
