Tree City USA Bulletin No. 41

"The annual loss of homes destroyed by wildfire would lessen if more people were aware of the fact that no area of the country is immune to these disasters, that the right tree use and other vegetation can help protect homes, and some basic principles that should guide home construction in forested areas.

The purpose of this issue is to show you that while fires can and will happen, there are many ways to reduce the risk of damage to homes." [website]
