Anyone with a rural home should know how to clear a fire zone around his humble Adobe unless they’re prepared to lose it. Once cleared, it’s easy to cut trees down to keep it clear when these trees are smaller. Same thing with maintaining MANY fire-lines (wide cleared path) crisscrossing their precious forest. Modern folks expects modern firefighters. And one of the modern tools for today’s firefighter MUST be clear-burning and control-burns. But do modern folks know this? Noooo, it’s just a pearl-clutching, collective-gasp that their poorly-trained notion expect firefighters not to start fires and ONLY to stop fires. Me think firefighting unit and forestry management needs to be a bit more cohesive either in principle or practice.
