Actually it's pretty dry in July too for that matter.

Usually by June the are not controlled burns anywhere as its just too dry.

I understand, you can’t stop the fires with controlled burning, but you can mitigate the damage.
I actually know a bit about California’s fire programs from my knowledge of what is called the “SEAT” program, which is single engine air tankers.
It’s Ag spray planes converted and or used for fire suppression.
Let’s just say that fires in California are BIG business and everyone has an agenda, and putting out a fire isn’t surprisingly usually it.
Quite a few actually benefit from big destructive fires, but don’t from little fires that are quickly extinguished and or prevented.

Someone stands to benefit from this anchor damage study, often times it’s as simple as follow the money to determine who that person is, who funded the study is often the answer.

I had a German friend who told me several German “sayings”
One of my favorites was “Statistics are like a Lady of the Evening, if your paying, you get what you pay for.”

Transpose Statistics for Studies and it still works.
