The victims of the fires are blaming it on the government officials for multiple reasons. They haven’t done brush cleaning for some time now because they did not want to disrupt the habitat of field mice. Brush cleaning is very effective in preventing forest fires. Residents are also complaining that the water system is antiquated and has not been upgraded. They are accusing there government officials of spending money on social issues instead of infrastructure needs. This is not a political statement it is what has really made this situation worse than what it should be.
