National Forests are federal land owned and managed by the federal government. Why would you think the governor of any state would seize those forests? Even if California decided to force those forests to be open...they're being closed because of the extreme fire danger in many parks. Why in the world would the state want to open them up?
Fires don't care about property lines. A fire that starts in a National Forest will happily burn through an adjacent state forest or community.

Why would you come to that conclusion? He's a politician, I would assume he'd use _political_ pressure to get action.

Precisely. If the land is being managed in a way that is raising risk and danger to surrounding land, why would you stand idly by and defer to Washington D.C?
