Native American Californians have been advocating at a state level for this for years. Hopefully, the state government listens!
-
You can sure tell who here either didn't watch the video in it's entirety if at all, or didn't understand it! 🤣

That's all fine and dandy on the plains. The problem is the forests understory that is so choked dead plants that it is a literal tinderbox just waiting for an ignition source. Until Cal DOE wises up and relaxes permitting for proscribed burns to clear out the understory catastrophic wildfires are gonna be the norm going forward.

I was a wild land firefighter for a long time… never once did I think of or were told of any chemical reactions or changes in the environment due to the extreme heat of a fire.
-
Impressive work !
-
Are these the same "scientists" that made us quit cutting fire breaks decades ago?
-
Very interesting research. Thanks.
-
The Aboriginal peoples of Australia have been doing it for centuries. We Europeans have adopted the very idea, it makes a HUGE difference đź‘Ťđź‘Ť
-
Good research.
-
let cows and sheep graze on the land
-
Protecting homes from wild fires comes down to three things: don't build in a forest, be allowed to clear the land around your home, and use heat-resistant building materials for the exterior of your house.
-
Hooefully this study can verify the viability of using cows and goats in oreventing fires.
-
Gonna need it to be far faster and far bigger to effectively fight fires.
-
Um, don't forget to stay onsite at night for potential reignition. It can be cause by burning root systems that can travel to unburned areas. Thermal Viewing devices can also help. Mop up crews rock also.

I have never seen something put out so much smoke while being good for the environment, but here it is. It's also not nearly so bad as smoke and soot from oil so...
-
A tiny bit of wind will make that tiny stip of burned land completely irrelevant
-
When hi tech replaces the more efficient and environmentally safe low tech grazing animals. Why?
-
Nice going
-
it worked well in Hawaii didn't it????????
-
they really need to thin out forests on the east coast so it doesn't end up like the west coast.
