I own property in the ANF and fire is a major concern. During the Bobcat fire I installed 3 fire pumps and reconfigured my water storage system oriented to fire fighting rather than residential use. But I can not depend solely on that. I do brush clearing every year. In fact, depending on the rain, I sometimes need to do it twice a year. I’m not complaining, that’s just the way it is. Yes, it is time that we manage our forest based on the lessons we have learned in the past.
Sounds like you’re doing all of the right things! Defensible Space came up a lot during this series’ interviews and has become quite a hot topic since. Will be checking out your UA-cam channel! -Mark
Solid documentary. Well done, clear and informative. Thanks Sadly the '21 fire season saw the Dixie Fire, Caldor Fire, McFarland Fire and others just run amok in California. This year is a slower start due to snow pack and the intense winter rains along with initially cooler temps overall. But the wildfires are coming.
My pleasure! Indeed 2021 turned out to be an interested fire season, and now in 2023 with all of this growth that is lovely and green now, we shall see what happens… We have “Fire Year (Part 2)” in the works now, BTW! - Mark
@@Landmark717 Agreed on the nice growth and green. I work wildfire support (in base camp) and we're all thinking the same thing - when this green gets hit with the heat and high winds it'll be dead and prime fuel. We're all just kind of "hurry up and waiting" right now..... waiting for the shoe to drop. New Mexico got pounded last year with multiple large fires. "We shall see what happens" as you stated so well. Best of luck with Part II - looking forward to it. Be well - and Be Safe
I very much enjoyed this video. I appreciate the practical comments of Corina Roberts and Malcolm North. ANF Fire Chief Robert Garcia is a proven fire warrior. Best of the best. Thank you. John R. Hawkins
Agreed. I often wonder what infrastructure needed to survive comfortably will look like 100 years from now. PS: Lovely town you've got there. Village Grind FTW! -Mark
Thanks for these videos you do finally somebody talks about and said the truth about our LA beatiful forest.. is sad now to see what left the bodcat fire.

Hi John, thanks so much! They each brought so much to the table and are fascinating, truly invested individuals -Mark
Great job, very nice video and very informative.
Thank you, Marc!
I agree we need to adjust to the change of the climate as scary as that may be. I live in Wrightwood.
Agreed. I often wonder what infrastructure needed to survive comfortably will look like 100 years from now.
