Original Note:
The claim that protecting fish like the delta smelt worsens CA wildfires is false. Cal Fire confirms water access isn’t an issue; fires are driven by drought, heat & winds. Environmental flows don’t impact firefighting. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/aug/06/donald-trump/california-wildfires-made-worse-hot-dry-conditions/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/08/07/fire-officials-to-trump-no-california-didnt-worsen-wildfires-by-dumping-water-into-ocean/
