While there are still a few folks who think 115f/46.11c is normal balmy summer weather, a great many more of us are getting the message that "IT IS HOT!" and it isn't going to get any cooler in our lifetimes.
I have watched the news of fires all over the world. I have had friends in the massive fire that wrecked the City of Santa Rosa, California, and other cities were just wiped out with many deaths. Years back, I knew people who lived through the fire storm that raged though the Oakland-Berkeley Hills exploding houses from the intense heat.1
Fire demands Respect.
In the interest of being respectful I am working to have the requisite fire breaks and weed abatement done on the lot. Of course some of this requires questions and answers from those who know about the topic of Fire and Prevention.
Act 1 Scene 4 Calling Fire and Prevention
sound effect: Phone rings
FandP Hello
Moi Hello, I own a lot and would like to have the lot cleaned up, weeds removed and fire breaks added. Can you tell me about any restrictions or issues in having this done?
FandP If you start a fire you will be responsible.
Moi Ah ummm, I am trying to do what is required to prevent a fire.
FandP If you start a fire you will be responsible.
Moi Ah ummm, I would like to know are there are any time of day restrictions?
FandP You can do what you like. Best to stop before 10am but you don't have to. If you start a fire you will be responsible.
Moi Ah ummm, would it be better to wait 8 weeks until the weather changes and the fire danger is less?
FandP You can do what you like. People work in all seasons and conditions. If you start a fire you will be responsible.
Moi OK Thank you.
FandP You're welcome. Remember if you start a fire you will be responsible.
