Sherif f Recovers Car Stolen From Redding Attorney Are you fire safe? By JACK BRAMHALL RPF #1772 Sadly, the Yarnell Hills Fire in Arizona where 19 firefighters tragically lost their lives is a reminder to all of us that we live in fire-prone country. In Tehama County it is not a question of if a neighborhood will burn, but when, i.e. the recent East Sand Slough fire. A question we all can be asking ourselves is: "What can I do to protect my family and property from wildfire?" The State of California has answered that question for us. They say 100-foot clearance around your house, or to your property line. And if your property is on a slope, they recommend more than 100 feet. Does this mean 100 feet of bare ground — waste land? No! It means 100 feet of space cleared of continuous brush or tall dry grass, and trees with low hanging or branches. This year has been exceptionally dry. We mowed our wild grasses in April. It rained on May 17 and the wild oats sprouted and grew another crop to be mowed. Only now it's dry— before we could get it mowed. This stage of summer requires extreme care if you still have dry grass to mow. Early morning is the time to be using a mower in dry grass. CalFire says you should cease mowing by 10 a.m. To be safer, you should use a string trimmer rather than a lawn mower. If it's available, a charged hose will give you added peace of mind. If you have brush to be cut or trees to be limbed, wait until after fire season; the time to take care of those kinds of problems is during the rainy season. If you have questions, or want clarification, call your local fire- house, and ask. It is better to get acquainted with them before you need them. Their goal is to keep Tehama County green and "golden" rather than black and gray. Many people ask if there are programs available to help individual homeowners create their defensible space. My answer is "Not that I'm aware of." If you know of such a program, please let me know. An source of funding may be for neighboring landowners to band together and ask the Tehama-Glenn Fire Safe Council to seek grant funding for a fuel reduction project. The grant funds are a fraction of the demand, so there is tough competition. You should be prepared to go after the funding more than once. The Fire Safe Council may be reached at 2 Sutter St., Ste. D, Red Bluff. I can be reached at 527-9403 if you have questions. Jack Bramhall is the husband of Red Bluff Garden Club member Kathy Bramhall.
