In Australia we regularly burn forests with a cool burn to clean the fine fuels needed to ignite the trees and the canopy. The idea of the cool burn is that the trees are not affected much and the fauna can escape. Not perfect and the schedule is patchy but it brings some comfort.

I am pretty sure trump made a comment to this effect in his first term. That Western states were not properly raking their forest well enough or something equally stupid. This isn't the reference the guy who made the original comment was trying to make but that reference wasn't clear at all.

You seem to have missed my take on this as expressed in my second sentence.

You might find another take on this relevant in "Fur and Loafing in Yosemite" where a character named Velma Melmac attempts this approach to forest management. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farley_(comic_strip). Trump has in the last couple of years literally complained that California wasn't managing to clean its forest floor properly in reference to wildfires there, suggesting that he completely missed the point of having the Velma character in that cartoon.

Then again, maybe humor is too alien for you. Lighten up.
