parks has been clearing away dry brush under the trees and removing dry bark. the goal is to keep a wildfire from climbing up the trees and reaching the canopy.sotthe problem there is that when the crowns burn the burning embers are thrown up into the air and the wind takes them ahead of where the original fire is burning.but even though this kind of clean up work has been happening in the east bay hills for decades swanson points out that they will never be able to prevent all wildfires. that's not the point.sotwe are not trying to prevent fires we are trying to prevent disasters.sotthere are going to be fires. this is a mediterranean environment. one of the elements of that environment is fire. frequent fires. sotit's when the fires get so intense they generate the kind of life threatening fires we've seen in the past. those are the disasters we are trying to prevent. loss of property and loss of life.
