I am certainly not criticizing any fire fighters and would not. That’s crazy.
I live in fire country..this year is weird.Usually we try time the property clean-up after the rains stop but before the real heat comes to stay. All the grasses that catch fire easily from tailpipes or yard equipment went from lush and growing and hard to burn to parched with these last two late and almost back to back large Santa Anas….I think the fires can start in these dry weeds and grass and run really fast into the brush which is as you all know a great boon to fire.
