It meanders as an article, it does repeatedly return to the core message:
This fundamental misunderstanding has likewise led to a misunderstanding of prevention.
No longer is it a matter of preventing wildfires but instead preventing points of ignition within communities by employing “home-hardening” strategies — proper landscaping, fire-resistant siding — and enjoining neighbors in collective efforts such as brush clearing.
This aligns with the post urban fire recommendations in Canberra, Australia some years back - hardened homes, clean gutters, fewer easily ignited shrubs close to flammable buildings, etc.
Wildfires will happen, embers will rain from the sky .. how prepared is your home to be ignition resistant when that happens?
