Any body know what they are talking about?
Well a bit of reality.. I would imagine this pic came from California where most counties and fire districts have in the last few years upped the defensible wildfire space from 30 feet to 100 feet, which means all non green brush should be cleared, all dry weeds/grass mowed, and trees limbed up to arms reach. Thus keeping all low lying fuel cleared and reducing wildfire risk. In the county in which I live when they upped the space, they hired a bunch of inspectors for that spring when they upped the space limits and they went around and issued warning citations (no fine) to everyone in the county who wasn't in compliance, it appears to have been a one time inspection, hasn't been repeated.
