It isn’t that simply not even close. And ironically it’s the leftist tree hugger environmentalists who’ve complicated it. No actually you need at times to do controlled burning of underbrush and other rapid burn fuel sources when the weather isn’t dry so it can be burned off safely.
Small controlled fire is much preferable to a massive fire storm when some dipshit tosses a cig or even unfortunately chains on a trailer hitting rocks causing a spark that ignites dry dense sources and off to the races. It’s bad enough with lightening from Mother Nature but let’s look at reality stupid idiotic leftist environmental policies like CA leads to mass conflagration.
Meanwhile Indian reservations who operate under federal BLM oversight have nowhere near such issues.
So yeah it’s not just a little raking dude and DR can verify this all I’m sure.
