"A tossed cigarette or a kid with a match and a grudge?" It is absolutely terrifying to think that that is all it would take to set entire cities ablaze - just one careless or deranged person. Very timely, Sue.

Powerful poem, Sue! I smelled the smoke, and the wet wood, after the fire was extinguished. The sounds of the children playing, and the silence of their shock, at the loss. Great articles..a different approach is definitely needed. What we are doing is not working. I live in a wooded area in Northern California, and our insurance was pulled, twice. Now we are on a state run plan. It is a big problem. Thanks for the informative articles.
