#Wildfire

Wildfire management is the grand farce where citizens and authorities parade hoses and sandbags under the noble claim of quelling nature’s fury. Lining up equipment and erecting firebreaks becomes a ceremonial performance to feign preparedness before the flames spread. Cutting-edge drones and forecasting systems are deployed, yet the actual act of extinguishing always lags behind. The true achievement is the ashen aftermath that follows the proclaimed “full readiness.” As people gaze at the smoldering trees, they are left to ponder the arrogance that led to their predicament.
