So living in California you must have a pretty good idea


Of the magnitude and scope of the job to “rake up the tinders” . So forget Yosemite and the whole Western Sierra part of the state, how many square feet do you suppose are in the the forests in the Sonoma area that has suffered such bad fires in the last couple of years. What do you suppose it would cost to send people into those forests and rake them? Given the drought conditions how often would you need to send those people in and re-rake?

I suppose you’re also familiar with how heavily congested those thick forest are. Forrests like that really don’t need a lot of stuff on the ground for a fire to spread rapidly if everything is dry.
