Great in-depth report. I agree with you and the need to invest more time and funds into ecological logging. Part of my upbringing was in California and mostly raising myself. At age eight, I learned from neighbors how to water the roof of my home as a wildfire burned dangerously near. As a photojournalist I covered too may fires. Smoke inhalation is not a good thing. Liked the kitty rescue story :)

Thanks Rena. It's great to learn more about you and know that we have this shared experience. I had to save the cat. I'm so glad he cooperated.

Indigenous people have recognized the need to burn scrub brush and grasses to prevent fuels from burning larger tracks of resources. The results are less uncontrolled forest fires. New growth and fodder for wild life. Release and germination of dormant plant seeds. A cost effective method of resources and restoration. Your writing has me sold in a method that has been a win-win solution.
