Build masonry houses with a stucco or brick finish.

Put in more roadways.

Start CCC camps again. Get these kids working cleaning and learning a little discipline.

Firefighters have known this stuff forever. Hubby was a watershed expert with our county fire department until he retired. If they were on a fire they would always try to save the homes that had done their brush cut backs as opposed to those that hadn’t. Simply because the ones who had done their clearance were saveable and the other ones weren’t.
