We rarely have forest fires, or that they'd be an issue here in Finland although it's almost covered with forest. Probably cos it's not that dry here. However, once in while during summers we get smoke here from Russia's forest fires! 😂 Not sure how they are handling things over there...😀

On the west coast, they do the best they can, but the fires can get out of control very fast.
Where I currently am, it can get dry, but we have a decent amount of humidity. It's not out of the question and has happened before on our property. I have been flying my drone, seeing all the deadfall around and yeah, there is a bunch I need to clean up, lol. But the deer like to bed in it, and our family hunts a lot, so we keep it around.
One project I have is to create a bit of a fire break around my place, mainly in the back part of the house.
Yeah, I read that one of the reasons the fires in California spread so fast was the Santa Ana wind which was very strong.
This sounds like quite a big project!
Not as bad as you would think. I am going to leave some of the bigger trees, just get rid of the the smaller stuff and a good bit of the ground scraggle. Winter is the best time to get it done because I don't have to deal with snakes.
Ok! Not too bad then. Man... I wouldn't be able to do anything near snakes... 😅
Oh, I am NOT a fan, lol.
Yeah, we are like Indiana Jones then. No shame in that. 😀💪
