I have never been to CA, but from what I understand there is always a
water shortage, or atleast almost every year so I can undestand the
problem and differant rules.

It sure is different here.

I'd bet, for example, in North Carolina, only a few houses burn at a
time, whereas, out here, from hundreds to thousands burn up at the
same time.

Yep, that's what happens when you live in a desert.
