I've been talking(no surprise) with neighbors about defensible space: it's a hot topic(sorry). After the Caldor Fire last year which threatened the entire basin, responsible agencies charged with control measures have installed some new task forces to provide not just safety measures, but control and prevention methods. Since we live in a national forest area, we receive the benefit of federal dollars, federal workers(firefighters in manned stations @ Meeks Bay and other sites), and their rolling stock fully equipped. There are some drawbacks, too. Moving the ship of state(forest service) requires lots of input and budget dollars. Nothing gets done quickly. The results: all our needs and desires in Tahoma and the West Shore take time to implement.
Confidently, we must take upon ourselves to do what we can to reduce risks within our power: creating space around our homes and businesses as best we can within our means. The takeaway: some can, some can't; some will; some won't. There it is.
