AI6YR BenBrush clearance deadline in our area is June 1st, I believe. It's now 85F, 15% humidity, gusting to 15-20mph, which is (if it hadn't been raining recently) fire weather. We're a good 2 months ahead I think in terms of normal seasonal averages. (I already cleared the area around my own house, moving to the next door neighbors next. Which will help in "Tesla on FSD crashes in nearby field and batteries go on thermal runway, fire spreads to grass towards house" but will NOT help in "extreme city/town destroying wildfire in 80mph winds")
Mathaetaes@ai6yr how may brush fires are sparked by a power tool blade hitting a rock while brush clearing?
Seems like most of the clearing should happen while the brush is still wet, not when it’s kindling.
@mathaetaes Yep, this is a problem, for sure. That said, the power tools I am using are plastic, so no risk from my own work. And also, don't do it during wind and do it in the early morning when things are still damp! It's going to be a problem for sure if the clearance crew is clearing and everything is already cured.
