I can't believe that in just a few years, a large of the San Gabriels I fell in love with has been destroyed by the Curve fire, the Williamson fire, and the Station fire.

This fire (in my understanding) was way more than nature ever intended and burned many of the plants and trees that usually recover.<br /><br />I agree, it is a choice to live near this, but our "management" of fires throughout history has been put in to question by some.

People who choose to live near burn zones need to understand this and take appropriate precautions.sjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722064514085502251noreply@blogger.com
