Go on, complain about the weather

Wet spring will sprout all kinds of growth. If it doesn't get maintained, it dies in the heat of summer, and makes dry scrub brush that burns easy.

Well that makes sense. you have a lot more open space out there than we do. It's the pine forests here that are the problem. If those pines catch on fire, that pitch in the trees is deadly hot and spreads fast. Like gasoline.

I have no doubt that a lot of land there is developed. My sister in law live in Annapolis, there is NOTHING undeveloped! One of our problems is people that want to live in the mountains. They want trees right up to the house. So any fire destroys it. So then fire fighters feel they have to protect them. Then fire fighters die doing this. My feeling is if you build there, you either clear around your house and mitigate it, or take the consequences. Including high insurance...

We have the Pine Barrens down south and mountains up north, but the entire state is so much smaller than yours. We have "piney's" living in the pine barrens and yeah, they do keep the trees close. Everywhere is the same, just different sizes I guess.
