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. 😀💪
