There's a movement growing to build effectively a 9' gravel road around Santa Rosa as a fire moat of last defense. It would be paid out of funds given from the recent fire there. If you zoom in on tiny communities up in the foothills, occasionally you'll see roads marked on google maps as "Dozer Line" where the locals have built their own crude fire moats to protect the community as best they can. I don't know if these are maintained to any degree, but it's certainly not a new idea.
