Even then, "fires happen sometimes" seems to be the prevailing narrative from the right. 

They do sometimes happen, hence why firefighters exist.

But the workload is getting to the point where I am saving a town/city every year rather than once every 10+ years, even during a cooler/wetter year due to La-Nina. - Which shows that even when you have climate influencers that reduce fire-potential, shit will still go wrong.

Just a few weeks ago, despite being winter we had a running grassfire... In winter. That's a rare occurrence.
And it's a cold and wet winter not a hot and dry one.

Well, let's be honest with ourselves and each other here: One of the most defining traits of the political right is that they'll twist every fact that sounds even remotely true to justify their unwillingness to do what is right. As far as they're concerned, they will go with whatever answer relieves them of any responsibility or ensures they aren't forced to do anything against their will.

That's the entire crux of their political view. All the freedom, none of the responsibility that comes with it.  Their liberty is absolute, even at the expense of all else.
