  1. We had a house fire in Boulder Creek 2 days ago that reportedly was started by a candle. Luckily BCFD got there fast.

That means that hand pruners can remove all fuel that is subject to burning in the flame front. Dry weeds are the big problem. A friend with a steel house lost it because there was a wood porch and two inches of dead grass.
