Hello,
It so chanced my grandfather was often employed in Idaho forests. At times,this activity became fighting
wildfire.
I do not make light of the difficult events of your county, other fire difficulty. But I wonder, has there been any
study of fuel load.
Fuel load is a science, you see. It can be assisted via Land sat image, of which I am a registered end user.
While bleak, the drone footage demonstrates exemplar timber, still standing near structure instance of burn.
I humbly ask your county government participants if adequate fuel load, studies could assist in protective
instance.
If one looks closely, it is possible to still see evidence of fire trace from 1910 in western states.
And in the clear spotlight among real, factual fatality, perhaps the larger governance of CA might assist in
fuel loading science available to CA residents.
In Idaho, I have walked among the circular gravestones of the 1910 fire crew found perished, and buried as
1
found in revetment. Perhaps a larger, CA fuel loading study might be well found in this instance to historical
fact.
