Fire Causes - watering plants is good? Now the opposite of what you think

For Watering

 I was wondering why people didn't water their gardens to help prevent tinder-dry vegetation going up in flames. But would that encourage growth?

Against Watering

Now I read that there was a ban on water use. Also those who watered gardens are being blamed for the lack of water to put out house fires.

Balance

I am starting to understand that in many cases the right course of action is like balancing a see-saw. (According to the American heritage dictionary, in northern parts of the USA what the British call a see-saw is known as a teeter board or teeter-totter. Canada seems to use both words.)

 The right amount of water has to be judged. Just like watering a plant in a pot, or a vase. Neither too much water, nor too little.
