Column: Reduce the Spread of Fire? ‘We have to remove palm trees’

Kathryn Barger’s mother often told him that “trees make the community.”

But if you have been given a Southern California power, which will renew and return after the largest destruction from the latest fires, what kind of trees are safe?

I have some answers, because the students who love trees have been responding to my column, a member of the country Board of Supervisors, said Treeless neighbors, and I said better.

My goal was to provide the purpose of the climate change, Wilnund and dramaticism of wind-breathing air, should be smart where and from anywhere. But I didn’t have a lot of research, and I’ve learned a few things, thanks to the students and the technicians, including colleagues Jeanante maranantos.

“You have broken the feathers of a tree lawyer,” Diana Nicole, a natural horitulist.

He and the other I interviewed had always compatible with several things:

The buildings, instead of plants, work as the first firefighting folios that windwood was taken.

Fire plans against fire are important, but the fire injury is also important, and can help protect homes.

Brush Surnnerance is a word that can be misunderstood; The best strategy is to have some kind of plants that are appropriate and under the wrong type.

California Choparril and Coastal Sage Scrul is often unexpected strict, Alexandra Syphard said.

“Most people have thought that you need to reduce vegetables, and I do not lift it up in your world, the firefighters need a safe place to access and protect the houses,” says Syphard. “But it doesn’t have to the world,” he said, and there was increasing evidence that the right kind of Greenery works as a protective obstacle.

Having good health, based on California live oaki trees and a catastrophe in your area can save your house, Syphard said. They contain a lot of moisture and can withstand fire through the structure, and they can interfere with flights before they reach premises.

Syphard said many of the victims were drawn inside the house, rather than the roof or the outer wall. Those who fell on using vents, under the garage doors and often in windows. “Window panels will explode immediately under the glorious heat and that is the most common source of the Emenecto entering,” Syphard, which recommends Double-Pane windows, and beautiful Mesh screens in vents.

The Eak Canyon Biologist Camya told me that the Eak Canon Area Area and the natural environment was spent on fire, but the oak trees were saved in a good situation, and some leaves sang.

When he visited the Center headquarters after the fire head, it said “the walls were standing … But all the windows were still. I think the fire had come into. He melted the glass, went to … and boom! a gift store, class, offices and several snakes and the larvae used for lessons. But Mace pay attention to one survivor.

“One wall was … leaning against California Lilac,” Mace, a special call a plant that can resist fire. “The building was burned around, and yet the shrub continued so steeply we could hold the wall.”

But just as some trees and plants show Eaton and Palades fires, some as romantic.

“The palms of Mexico should be removed and forbidden to be planted in California.

You added burning trees to the Eucalyptus to the list during the call, explaining that his roots were in Altadena, where he lived in two houses, both of them that were rife in the EATI fire. Stewart said he saw fireworks at Newscast that discussed how the trees were throwing large chunks for flames.

Nicole told me that he learned many TV hours to cover fires and saw that the forest, palm trees “began to heat the tiki,” casting bullets, “so we have to get some captains and some burning plants.”

Elos Angeles, that’s like we have to remove Dodgers, or surfing, or food trucks. Feel free to send me your thoughts, for I am happy to Kpolla Sompat Soupport

I asked Syphard, Nicole, Mace and Stewart if they were building a palatis or Altadena.

“I can feel safe and with a green oak” rather than one, the synphard said. But he added that trees against fire can burn, and he commended to remove dead legs, leaves and debris from all the vegetation.

Nicole praised California live Oak and Toyon, as well as other non-natural, including paradise bird. “If you have cut on that, the water coming out,” he said.

MacE said he built a concrete house and a yard would have an oak, the lady, toyon, Lemonade Berry and Lilac.
