Chaparral and grasslands (what that area has) regrow pretty quickly. This isn’t problem of fuel accumulating over decades as has happened in the Sierras. You’d need to be removing vegetation every year, which would also kill off the native plants.
The frequent burns are what’s killing the native plants. Burns aren’t supposed to happen this frequently, and invasives are crowding out the drought resistant natives.
