I also just sort of assumed that that statement was total bullshit (although I have no idea for sure, or why he would say it if so.)
Idk about politics but I know stuff about fire. Catostrophic wildfires can be prevented by making sure there isn't lots of dead, dry wood... not lots of dead, dry grass. Prescribed fire is the big way to do this, also mowing and landscaping properly around buildings. And most wildfires do have a human-based ignition point as well.
