@MsMerope @ai6yr Yep, defensible space does not mean cutting down trees. That's a huge myth that this Administration is perpetuating.

It's ladder fuels, those that allow the flames to climb into canopies. Grasses, shrubs, vines, the GD poison oak that grows in central California...

Like making a fire, it's hard to get a tree to burn, unless it's super dry and surrounded by debris. Just like it's hard to start a large log on fire, it takes steps and hot coals.
