Post Fire (s Afr)

So all these bad fires that are suddenly everywhere: Australia, California, Spain, Portugal, Greece, France, Italy, South Africa?
Why? Two reasons - we are getting better at putting out fires, which means that the fuel is growing. And the more fuel the bigger and more disastrous and more uncontrollable the next fire. So we throw more manpower and more money and more resources at putting out fires, and the fuel just gets more. The endgame is simple: monstrous fires!
And aliens: aliens accumulate fuel faster, because the grow faster and denser and taller than our indigenous plants. More fuel: hotter, faster, bigger, more uncontrollable fires.

The solution is simple. Burn more often. Keep the fuel loads at levels where fires are manageable.

Will we ever learn?
