While surrounded by timber. And breaking the law by keeping trees too close.
Kind of like living below sea level in a hurricane path.

It was amazing to see the fire leap residential structures that had done good fire mitigation practices. If that didn't show a homeowner what you need to be careless about, to draw fire into every chance of burning down your home, I don't know how to convince them to protect themselves and their property.

The homes I see on my rides in the foothills are all in violation, they want the convenience of "city living" with the seclusion of being surrounded by trees so they keep the trees right on their houses.
It is a recipe for disaster since every year something catches on fire.

Well, man certainly thinks he can mold nature to his whims, no matter how often we are proven merely mortal and presumptuous
