Fires is a newsletter funded by its readers. The more money I have to make this newsletter great, the greater it will be! Currently I am trying to fund access to Getty Images and scholarly articles— both of these are pricey. Your support means the world to me, whether you pay or not (and if you can’t pay, please share).
You really can ask me anything (in the comments!)
Here’s your chance to ask anything you’ve ever wanted to know about wildland fire. I’ll be answering my first question (what effect does fire retardant have on the environment?) next Wednesday.
Guess what? FIRES is this week’s featured newsletter on Substack. I’ll be continuing my series on the United States before fire suppression, but will also be publishing answers to your questions every Thursday. Some of these will be free to read. Some won’t! I gotta make a living! BTW, you can get 10% off a yearly subscription right now!

Yes i do, so i ask this ... and in the simplest terms i can think of ... why?, with the tremendous resources in CA and in our entire country with respect to finance, commerce, and smarts, ... why is there no product with material similar to fire blankets for hotshots, why is there no such thing on a larger scale for homes? why? ... i bet the real answer can be found if you follow the money, but i really don't know, i just know it's a very possible, can-do technology.
