I like the goat idea.
Personally, I think that people who live in the unsafe areas should pay for their own fire prevention. The cost of living in far flung areas is more than simply the cost of land and building. Extending services to those corners is costly. That should be reflected in yearly property taxes.

October 24, 2007 at 1:52 PM #91451mixxalotParticipantThird vote for goats and sheep
My parents have goats and never had problem with brush or fire on their land up north. Plus think of the excellent feta cheese and goat milk they can sell?

October 24, 2007 at 2:02 PM #91454TheBreezeParticipantYeah, I don’t think the idea of drafting people to clear brush around huge homes in the mountains owned by rich people is going to fly. We are already going to have to pay to rebuild those homes with our tax dollars — not something I’m looking forward to or think should be done. Feel free to volunteer yourself to go clear brush for free though.

October 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM #91480kewpParticipantAny idea that involves goats gets my vote.
I’ll add that fires are a natural part of the environment here, so maybe we should learn to live with them. Like stop building tinderbox McMansions. Simply create a minimum standard for fire-resistant property and require it for all new construction. Eventually the problem will work itself out.

October 24, 2007 at 9:01 PM #91593donaldduckmooreParticipantI like the goat idea and I also feel that remote residents should pay higher taxes for fire prevention is an acceptable strategy.
