I didn’t know about USFS plastic piles in SlaterFire, horrible.
Homeowners must take responsibility in hardening their homes, slashing & RX fires should not destroy native plants that then invites invasive species (mustard plants the bane here inland SoCal).. —This spot on: There is this idea that keeps popping up, that we need to “manage fire.” But no. We need to live with fire. We need to live with the presence of fire, and understand and see how it brings life to our lands and restores ecological health.
I totally agree that homeowners need to take responsibility— and I also think there needs to be more education as well as funding for homeowners who can't afford to update their homes. You're right that we need to live with fir instead of "managing" it, too. Thanks so much for reading and for your thoughtful comment.
