@MAKAVELI Read the end of the last paragraph.Fennessy said.
Could better brush clearance have helped slow the spread of the Palisades fire?
As the Palisades fire raged, critics blamed overgrown vegetation for driving its spread. But some scientists and fire officials say removing it may not have made much of a difference, and also risks making the landscape more flammable in the long run.www.latimes.com

Several experts noted that the intense gusts lofted embers miles from the fire front, essentially spreading flames through the air — not by brush. They also pointed out that landscape-level fuel reduction, in which brush is cut back over large swaths of land, is controversial in Southern California’s sensitive coastal ecosystems.

It’s called busting balls. Go back to your cave.
Funny.
The more I see on tv about what is happening out there makes me feel horrible. We have many from Cali that have second homes here and will be moving in

So do you feel horrible about them losing their homes or that you're going to get an influx of Californians into your area?
Definitely about them losing their home. Can’t imagine the stress they are under.
