The following SOPERMAL protection system includes equipment, goats and firefighters

In nine months after the worst fire in the history of recorded history, Helicopta carrying politicians caused significantly in the war against the Califon wild mountains. The combined peak lines shown a little canyons. The earth was Blotchy: Some parts were covered in the largest, green plants and shruby smoke; Some were black, and they became very expensive to a fire that Chaparrward were being used; And some also humiliated by the gold grass dried dry when the world was in the past years crazy in fire.

Among these tapestry was spread in the homes and businesses with only a few outgoing roads: Topanga. Accidents, the fire should be roared down the bird, and brightly cleared the thousand cans.

“If there were any issues in Boulevard …” County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath said her head, turned off.

“The community is trapped,” said Wade Crowfoot, California secretary with natural resources, completing the thought.

On the same mountains when the Pisado Fire roared, the boss and the secretary watched the project of AC State nearly 675-acre flagy to stop the next Santa Monica fire project from the following homes and killing citizens.

Crews from Los Angeles County Fire Mordon and Environmental Affairs and Environmental Authorities, A local land management agency was a leaf of gasoline in northern Santa Monicas between Topanga and Calabasas. In the spring, they hope for a limited burning of break. In the northwest, on the other side of the Kilabasas, the Venturo County Fire, sent 500 goats and 100 sheep to eat the attacking grasses that are inclined to conform.

It is simply a fraction of the work leaders and local fire teams hope to achieve one day, but the rate and speed of efforts have already done something natural and firemen don’t worry.

(However, the goats enjoy the universe.)

While many firefighty firefighters support the construction of petrol pear, provide better access to remote areas during fire fighters, fire levels.

However, after Palisades Fire in January last January, many Staptues and Saint Monicas leaders felt that it was better to do – even if the program will burn again, almost soon, the program will soon be burning.

In March, Gov. Gavin Newlom signed a large order to direct the process of approval of these projects. Instead of searching for many permissions for long-range processes – California Environmental Quality Act, Risked Plant Act, Risk

As a result, the state has completed more than 100 projects just a few months. Before, it was not uncommon for projects that remain many years waiting for various approval.

In April, the Provincial Legislature and Newloom welcomed pre-billion fines and those California voters allowed in November. The Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy, which received more than $ 31 million for the bully, was given more than $ 3 million to La County and Ventura County Fire Workment and Mrca to complete the project.

To Oct. 8, Horvath and Crowfoot look from the Ridgeline Northwest of Topanga as the parties fall under a remote controlled machine – his name Green Climbir After its color and the ability to roam the best slopes – chewing shrubs in the mountains. Some have used the attached lump on the arm of bright red closing to rip plants.

The purpose was to create a new petroleum leave in a few places in Santa Monicas that consistent seven years ago, Drew Smith, Fire Assistant, and the County Fire. “In the fall, our great risk is all this here.”

Left alone, Chaparral is usually hot every 30 to 130 years, historically because of lightning. But as the Westerners began to pay a region, fires started many times. For example, Money Canyon – which Lastly burned in Franklin’s fireJust a month before the Palisades Fire – now experiences fire almost every eight years.

As the Fire often beats the traditional scientist scientists call this death blowing fire cycle. The configuration is not a simple task. And to turn it back, some experts are afraid, may be difficult.

The current method of state, which is set by the Panel of independent scientists who work with California consumers who work for a wild fire.

First: Home Fitness, Secure Space and Formal Immigration That Monster Fire begins, causes very little death and destruction.

Second: Prevention strategies, such as stripped groups watching out the Arson in the dark days.

Third: Creating a petrol network.

Fuel’s emphasis discussed the most, in part because only fuel breaks only do little to stop the wind that is thrown by a crisis.

But fire officers who rely on petrol choice during the disaster struggles are still able to play the “major role of a certain plan,” Smith said the new EMBER – before the public.

But Dan Cooper, a reality of biologiologist and a province of the savings of Mount Santa Monica, said there was some scientific evidence to show that fat leave works.

And because creating gasoline leave is harmful and, the worst, can cause them to make even more folk, fire scholars warns that they need techniques. Thus, the speed of where the state approves the projects, they say, relating to.

Alexandra Syphard, a scientist in the Consology Scientist at Consology Environmental Calibution Book of California, noticed that the party of the Santa Montain Team nearly a healthy topanga. If fire groups are not only keeping petrol leave, it will be a golden roof back, not more than a defense.

A distant controlled masticator – called “Green Climbir” – mulches burning the topanga plants to keep the flames in low height.

And the Land Managemeri administrators can have significant effects on the line: While Fire CRews and conservation of the environment in the way they look at the return, when viewed Chapardal, it is not closed.

For Cooper, trade from the risk of wildfire reduces the basic disastment of the Santa Monicas. People move to areas like Topanga, in part, because they like dots, houses behind oak and clinic health in Cany. However, that is the same rulership.

“What will you do about it? Get out of Santa Monicas” we need to learn how to live on fire – more way. “
