A very convenient location for the arrest, given that the LAPD detention center is just across the street. Waymo operators should have just driven the car to it. I am sure they'll put this in an episode of " The Rookie"

This may have to do that the conditions for controlled burns are much easier to achieve in Florida where it rains much more often than California where low humidity/ihgh winds happen fairly often, while low humidity in Florida happens, well, never.

As a Californian hiker and mountain biker, there's a bit of info that is missing. I live just a few miles from the bobcat fire down in Southern California and we are save but drowning in smoke, it's pretty bad. I've hiked and biked those hills. I see the thread is about mismanagement of land and who's to blame for that. I think the point is another, you have to see the bigger picture. California was just out of severe drought, due to el nino being late (look up el nino if you don't know what it is). This unprecedented drought killed a lot of trees - I could see it with my own eyes , some of my favorite spots, trees - not brushes, trees, like hundred of years old big trees - dead because of the drought. Once they die and dry up they're fuel. That's why these fires are so bad, it's a consequence of the drought a few years ago. Some of those areas haven't burned in 80 years. You can't remove them, there is way too many of them, and they are in wilderness. The only way to work that is with controlled fires. However, those can go terribly sideways, and require certain conditions that are hard to achieve, plus the bureaucracy as there are multiple agencies involved. The issue is systemic - trying to find one culprit is useless, yet it is what most people do in these partisan times.
