Wildfire expert shares learnings from urban-wildfire disasters
Ruth lloyd in the Quesnel Observer May 25, 2023″Quesnel residents concerned about wildfire impacting communities have the chance to meet the man who wrote the book on how to protect your property. Community Wildfire Preparedness Roundtables around the region are hosting FireSmart presentations by Alan Westhaver MSc., a 30-year veteran of wildland fire, now a wildland-urban expert…“We’ve long considered this to be a wildfire control problem however, it is really a problem of so many homes and structures being so easily ignited,” he states in his presentation. Instead, he emphasized the answer to saving urban areas from these disasters will not come from more planes, helicopters or tanker trucks, but from mostly small measures property owners can take, over time, to make buildings less susceptible to igniting and burning.”
