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.

Zach Weiss also posted a really digestible video this morning, light on details, but great for sharing with the general population.

The California Wildfires won't stop until we do this

Get rid of the invasive eucalyptus some clown imported from Australia. That stuff burns like gasoline. Watched the Berkley Hills fire 1991 close up. Built a couple homes in the burn area after. Pretty amazing devastation. Completely destroyed concrete foundations.
