Re: North Shore residents should be upping wildfire preparation tactics
Dear Editor:
We have all seen disastrous examples of what a wildfire in an urban setting can do. Here we are on the North Shore, surrounded by tinder dry forests. Every day, I pass by private yards with knee high yellow grass, dead trees, and dead shrubs.
I think that their local governments should notify them to remove such obvious fire hazards from their yards and boulevards within thirty days or receive a fine/charge to have city crews do it for them.
