| Abstract: |
The Stephan Bridge Road Fire represents an increasingly common example of the risks of building homes in areas of scenic but combustible vegetation. Northern Lower Michigan is an area with a long history of wildfires, yet people continue to build new structures dangerously close to this vegetation and too often take little or no precaution to protect themselves against known risks. Despite increasing concern and prevention efforts by state, federal and local fire protection agencies in Michigan, and despite the mobilization of so many firefighters, this fire became the most destructive fire in Crawford County history. |
