Trump blames fires, erroneously, on California forest management. Firefighters call it a ‘shameful attack’

LA Times  

California firefighters criticized President Trump for a tweet Saturday that incorrectly stated that this week’s devastating fires were the result of poor forest management. Trump said poor forest management policies caused the fires plaguing the state, even though the massive Woolsey fire didn’t occur in a forest. “We’re having no problems as far as access to water supply,” Scott McLean, deputy chief of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said in response to the president’s August tweet. And instead of cleaning it up, they don’t touch them.” As with many things involving Trump, his attacks on California fire management sparked an intense Twitter debate Saturday.
