This was taken just this week at a fire in Penngrove.

They essentially explode into fire and in our case, 50+ of them would destroy the cemetery's 100's of native Oaks.

When PG&E insisted that our 100+ year old oaks were a hazard and needed to go, they did’nt, then offered to help replant with pine we knew they were full of crap.

Idiots.

When my 35 year old daughter was 5 or so we were watching TV in the front room at night which is near the street and there was a weird "glow" behind us.

We turned around to look through the plate glass window just as the neighbor across the street's magnificent evergreen pine of some sort, about 60 feet tall, went up in about 5 seconds.

The son, a meth head, had started a house fire trying to make meth in the garage and almost killed his mom but my main recollection is the instant immolation of that tree.

And the realization at that time that we had Cedar Shingles just like pretty much EVERYBODY did around here at the time.

Embers were everywhere.

We replaced the roof shortly thereafter with asphalt shingles.
 
I have successfully run the gauntlet thru Hwy 50 last Friday.
Pretty much what you see after the fires in Napa, Sonoma, tree clearing, recontouring drainage, pole resetting. The one thing new I noticed was air compressors as normally used with jackhammers.
All parked along the road with air hoses trailing off into the woods.
Any insight?
