Volunteer FF long ago in the Rocky Mts. for 20 years. None of that prepared me for what I see in these new fires. Dry trees and brush will burn easily compared to houses which are always designed to reduce the fire hazard. That's fire under natural conditions. Seeing unburned nearby vegetation while the house is vaporized, that's off the chart nuts!
We are in a fire war, that is clear. Who's doing it is not clear.
By fire war I meant something DEW is happening and we don't know what it is.
For a very long time, wood frame houses have had a cinderblock foundation wall several feet high above the ground for mold And for Fire Protection to the wood structure above. The grass burns but the house doesn't is the plan.
...new eyes arrive here daily...
...it is our duty to get them up to speed...
...doggy winks...
