From the text...'It was my observation then that local residents demonstrated little interest in fuel hazard reduction near their homes unless a fire had ocurred recently and nearby. Sadly, as a member of the Berkely Fire Safety Commission from 1992 to 2001, I found that the…

Shaped by fire for thousands of years, the forests of the western United States are as adapted to periodic fires as they are to the region's soils and climate. Our widespread practice of ignoring the vital role of fire is costly in both ecological and economic terms, with…
