He was asked if they have fires like these since they have many towns in the mountains and forests. The Swiss reporter said that they have quite a few large forest fires but they let them burn. Because they don't have people building homes alone out in the wilderness and instead build their homes together in towns, there's little to no loss of property or life. Unlike how we do it here in the US. That should have been shown over and over again instead of just the one time on the one station.
