that covers the fuel portion of it, but there are also other problems as well. If I remember right, Paradise is one of the towns that prevents you from pruning 'wildlife' near your home, and many neighborhoods and ordinances don't allow certain kinds of fireproof siding/roofing, because they 'ruin the look of the neighborhood'. I kind of actually feel a bit for PGE here, while they are definitely wrong, it was not their choice to not follow guidelines on 'defensible space' for the town, and its roads.. The main roads out of town had vegetation right up to the edges of the roads. how is that safe?
