California also knows about wildfires, most of which occur on Federal or Private property, California owns very little land compared to the Federal Government. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Very educative documentary, thanks moomin ^^ Especially about : - back burning firefighting - soil management to prevent the most dangerous crown fires - protective uninflammable tree rings surrounding communities and urban/industrial structures Not sure yet if this doc discusses ways to fight ambers propagated by firestorms and winds (beyond soil management and cutting low-hanging branches of highly flammable tree species) but I sure would love to find a fully translated version of this informative documentary ^^ Canada knows a lot of wildfires.
