    Thanks for the link. I generally don't expect much out of the DP but I agree, this was well done.

    I have no complaints, and yes I was surprised that it was done by DP as well

    Encroachment....Some parts of the population that think a conifer forest has an unlimited lifecycle and that it doesn't include fire....Logging bans that can't remove old growth and renew the forest without fire....

    They did a pretty good job addressing the realities.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Gotta give credit where credit is due.

    That was excellent.

    2012 and 2013 sucked. I hope 2014 is completely uneventful on the fire front.

    This is a great film, it shows the real problems rather than what the relatively minor things people bicker over afterward. Unfortunately there is still a lot of our and surrounding counties that will be prone to wildfire next year (and throughout the state). This is the kind of stuff that people need to see, mitigation can help so much but people seem to only think about that after the fire has occurred.

    Don't hold your breath Brother, I think I'm going to get used to seeing you and your Brothers flying over my head for the next few years...
