  • Thank-you, Kate. Eucalyptus is so flammable. I hope the powers that be can jump into action fast. Much appreciate your update on this.

  • Like that this was reported early. Thank you for posting the details. Sending best wishes for quick response to keep the backdoor backcountry safe and local damage to a minimum.

  • Just by the by, eucalyptus is no more flammable than just about anything else growing on the coast. But no matter, let’s hope they get the jump on this fast.

    • This one was from a careless idiot, and the one before from a careless local. We have both in our midst.
