Barbara & Kevin O'Riley ( rinders - 610 Madrone ) hosted a meeting to discuss approaches to tree maintenance and thinning in the Canyon.
Rich Samson, Battalion Chief for CalFire, was presenter. He described himself as a forester and as an enforcer for forestry issues in our region.
Originally presented as a forum for talking about comprehensive tree-thinning with a neighborhood cost-sharing aspect, Mr Samson rapidly directed the discussion to fire safety.
The first thing I have in my notes is his dispelling the notion that 'we don't have any fires around here.' He points out that in the 60's 36,000 acres burned above Pescadero. He said the Gazos fire in January, and the recent 100' square fire off Cloverdale should of dispelled the notion that we're somehow immune to fire.
