In my opinion, California will settle back down once we get some rain here.
The drought of 2013-2016 killed so many trees all over California that a slow motion disaster was set into motion. Most of those dead trees would burn, and fairly-soon. There was no way to stop it.
This year, I knew the big fires would be in the Sierra Nevada, since that mountain range hasn't burned extensively. In the years 2016-2020 many of the big fires were in the Coast Range north of San Francisco and south of the Trinity Alps, but that area can't really host big fires right now since they've been largely burned. Indeed, very few fires at all this year have started there. It's progress.
It's a brutal process, but we're getting there. Getting to more-sustainable thinner forests with less ground cover.
