Introduction to Fire in California

"The chapter on 'Getting Ready: Life on the Edge' is worth the price of admission. It diagrams creating a defensible space around your home and what to do during a fire evacuation . . . . One way to thank the firefighters and volunteers is to become more informed about fire. This book will help."--Chico Enterprise-Record "It tells everything readers need to know about wildfires: how they spread and what their effects are."--Palo Alto Weekly "Well written, yet simple enough for broad appeal."--CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
