In a report issued for Los Angeles County, fire agencies reviewed the Woolsey Fire. It states, “we cannot expect that all population growth in Very High or High Fire Hazard Severity areas can be protected simply by increasing resiliency to wildfire and by adding more fire engines.”

We concur. Time and again we’ve seen the damage done by wind-driven fires.
