STOP THE BURN is a book chronicling California's destructive and deadly firestorms of 2017-2018, and the conditions leading up to this wildfire epidemic. Beginning by referencing the Northern California Hanly Fire of 1964, the author brings us to the present by specifically addressing the issues creating these hazardous conditions, and then providing the best solution for preventing the majority of the state's wildfires in the future.
The book quotes, summarizes, and compares many of the experts' disappointing solutions, and reviews PG&E's bankruptcy and their fight to survive this company's most turbulent times.
The author has created a recipe for the funding and staffing of his plan that is realistic, affordable and sustainable. If adopted, the plan will not only provide California with fire protection, but will provide several extremely positive social and economic benefits as well.
If something is not done immediately, California will continue to burn, and the fires will only become worse. Stop the burn!
