> Personally, as the owner of 25-ish acres of wooded land in this area (Marin County), I am not waiting. We are simulating fire by dramatically reducing fuel loads on our lands. As a lifelong sonoma county resident, curious why were you not managing fuels already? It's a duty to your neighbors. CalFire is very aggressive up here in certain areas, and will red tag your property if it gets past a point. > "No, I don't believe that to be the case. Broadly speaking, prescribed burns are thwarted by a mix of local objections to smoke, noise and traffic" Can confirm this for Sonoma County, CA. They used to burn a lot when I was young. Not much anymore, mostly because of the $$$ moving up here and they have no understanding of the need for it. Well, this is the alternative. Also, a lot of land is private.
