Another bad fire in N. California

Pretty good article on what they faced.

Here's an article on easing the restrictions:

"
Further, when landowners get a timber harvest permit to do logging on their property, which has been state law since the 1970s, they are required to draw up a plan that shows where they plan to cut, how many trees they want to remove, on what kinds of slopes and which species, like endangered salmon or other wildlife, will be affected. That plan is a public document and the subject of a public hearing.

Timber harvest permits, which can be hundreds of pages and cost tens of thousands of dollars for a professional forester to prepare, also must be approved by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and the State Water Resources Control Board, who look at the logging impacts on erosion, streams and wildlife, and try to reduce the impact of logging on the environment."

THPs aren’t a big deal and don’t cost a ton. I’ve worked with foresters on them. For a small property they’re quick and easy.
 
Ok, then let's just not change anything. We'll deal with a fire when it comes.
Great.
