San Francisco firefighters battling L.A. fires describe current situation, memorable moments

Is this fire still going?

The one culprit of the fires nobody talks about is the invasive golden grass that covers the hills of California which were planted by early Spanish settlers for their livestock. Even if the forests were managed correctly you would still have issue with fires because the invasive grass is dry and highly flammable which makes it the primary source of fuel for the fires in places like the Pacific Palisades where there aren't dense forests. Native California grass aren't as flammable because their deep roots hold more moisture and native California trees also are resilient to fires that's why you see so many of them survive around homes that have burned down. The solution is to remove the invasive grass along with every invasive plant and tree species that aren't native to California, the work has to be divided between every California County and City. Updating building codes to require metal roofs on all structures as well as a water system that allows for water to fall all along the sides of the structures like a small water fall with the water collected in gutters at the bottom for reuse to provide constant flow of the water fall without the need for more water would be another layer of protection against the fires.

These events in LA are reminiscent of the Tunnel Fire Oakland Hills firestorm in 1991 (somewhat similar conditions and devastation)
