Douglas Forest Protection Association (DFPA) announced the end of fire season yesterday. It was a fire season we will never forget and feel lucky to have survived it even if the nearest major fire was 15 miles from us. Already planning on how to reduce the fire risk on our property by cutting small dead trees, burning slash, and/or by chipping and scattering it. Enough work to keep me busy all winter or as the old body permits. Winter forecast is for wet weather, maybe some snow. Hope there is not a repeat of what happened in 2018-- eight days of no power, heavy wet snow bringing many trees down and the threat of our roof collapsing. Maybe that scenario is better than the threat of a wildfire. One thing for sure we don't look forward to summer much anymore.
