For the past 10 days....there's been a couple of fires to erupt (much less than what Spain and France has seen for the past 60 days).
There is public 'anger' building up over the limited action in curtailing or limiting the damage of the fires. It's not a national topic....strictly regional.
Oddly, the Green Party has picked up the agenda, and slammed the Merz coalition (CDU-CSU-SPD) for not having concrete answers to fire 'protection'/prevention.
What is being pushed? Well....using drones to detect or plan the route of fires is one thing mentioned. Other idea pursued....forcing the federal gov't to hand state and city gov't authorities more money.
On the money idea....there's no guarantee that the states would pursue a decent plan, or use the money for less-bang-for-the-buck.
All of this going back to the drought issue? More or less. 2026 has been an exceptionally dry year...more so in my valley.....than any point in the past 20 years.
