It’s simple really forestry brings in engineers that map the problem areas. With the topographical data they design fire breaks and fire damns so that the forest is compartmentalized in segments. Then the commissioned forestry teams go in and control burn designated areas out side the dry season to burn out the dead fall and brush. This helps with germination of new growth and burns off all the mess that has a potential to catch up. It’s been done. Time to pull out the old play books.
