This week has certainly been a reminder on prevention vs. cure on giant fires.

Some GREAT advice in these two, particularly the what to do if you're about to get caught in a big fire:

Thanks Dave! That pamphlet had reached a mythical status. In the sense that we knew it was good and that it was out there somewhere. But I didn't know where to find it.

Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

The California Wildfires won't stop until we do this

what if we put solar panels on top of the semi truck trailer? That could power this tiny ad:
