Wildfire Season is Now

Many fires are started by lightning strikes from thunderstorms, which we can't do anything about. We can, however, avoid doing stupid stuff like grinding metal in a bunch of dry vegetation or building illegal campfires in hazardous areas. Both of these activities sparked disastrous wildfires that destroyed beautiful forests and hundreds of homes (Hawken Fire near Reno and Angora Fire at Lake Tahoe).
The best defense is an active offense. My Reno / Tahoe Wildfire Safety article has good information about preventing fires and what to do if a wildfire is threatening your area.
