This is exactly why I'm doing controlled burns on the family land. Fire management needs to be way bigger here in the US.

There is an article at web site called boomcalifornia.com - Lighting cultural fires.
Good read. My family has been using fire as a tool for hundreds of years - guess it is in my DNA!
we have increased native perennial - decreased annual forbs and grasses and made our 1.65 acres look pretty good.

Thanks for the replies

Just an update-- over 8,500 acres so far.
Slowed down a little with light rain and
low winds. Pray for rain.

Thanks Aaron, me too.
Better news today. I think the rain has done it's work.
If the entire fire is not completly out, this week ends
rain will finish it.
