| Abstract: |
The major lesson carried away from those [2000] fires: responsibility doesn't rest solely on developers, nor on the responsiveness of local fire departments or wildland fire crews, who put out fires where forests meet suburbia.
Instead, it has to be a community effort. Driving this point home is a workshop developed by the National Wildland/Urban Interface Fire Protection Program. Unlike other programs that exist for the purpose of fire education, the Firewise Communities Workshop seeks to open the collective eyes of entire communities to wise planning philosophies. |
