Liberals don't believe in forest management. They let it go as mother nature, don't keep the brush under control..so when they get a fire it rages.

Taught to me here some years ago by Texas Cowboy, may God bless his soul.

Even if ya clear your home, with wind driven wild fires, embers can EASILY be blown hundreds of feet across cleared ground right up under you eves etc...In many cases hot embers can be blown in for miles in front of fire lines, creating more fires.
