Michael Gollner emphasizes that to prevent devastating fire outcomes, proactive measures must be implemented long before a fire starts, particularly focusing on community resilience.
Gollner explains that fire behavior is influenced by fuel availability, with recent plant growth in Southern California creating conditions for rapid burning, particularly in chaparral ecosystems.
To enhance community protection from fires, Gollner stresses the importance of creating defensible spaces around homes rather than extensive forest clearing, targeting embers specifically.
He highlights the significance of managing the space between fire and communities, prioritizing ember mitigation in fire prevention strategies to enhance resilience.
