It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If you clear the brush to cut down on the fires, then you don't have anything holding the dirt in place, and the mudslides are worse. If you keep the dry vegetation there, then the fires are bad. You can't win. Maybe they should build their houses in a safer location.
