“Why so many fires in California?”<\/p>\n
Because there is so much that can burn so close to powerlines and homes.<\/p>\n
– – –<\/p>\n
“Is there any solution?”<\/p>\n
No quick fix for the fires burning now and starting now.<\/p>\n

“How about prevention?”<\/p>\n
Yes.<\/p>\n
Fire prevention, no-brainer—clear brush under powerlines, so winds can’t start a fire there—clear brush to create fire breaks to protect residential\/business areas—harvest trees for lumber with a plan that sustains the forest and reduces the enormous waste when it goes up in flames, out of control.<\/p>\n

Just as we take steps to make deadly highway intersections safer, likewise there are cost-effective solutions to the deadly fires.<\/p>\n
