There is no fire lane



I walked the perimeter today. I had a machete. I needed it. Except for the area I cleared on teh west side of the south tract recently, there is essentially no fire lane. Trees are growing into the former fire lane. Where trees are absent, tall or thick vegetation is. One of these days something horrible is going to happen and a lot of fingers will be pointing, but they won't be pointiong at me. I have warned them repeatedly.

For the record, the north tract's fire lane has been brush hogged exactly once since the property was acquired five or six years ago. The south tract fire lane has never been brush hogged. The results are inevitable.

This photo shows how close the homes are to the unfiresafe unfirelane.

You read it here first.
