The real fire line isn't in the forest - it's at your front door: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Fire-smart building codes, defensible space, rooftop sprinklers - that's how you protect #communities, not by #logging in the wildlands.

The Trump regime signed an “emergency situation declaration” last week opening up over 59% of Public lands to be logging. Citing wildfires as the chief reason.

Here’s an awesome account & thread debunking Trump.
The claim that #logging is a fire #prevention tool is everywhere. But when you dig into the #science, the picture looks very different. Let's set the record straight 🧵⬇️

Why are we subsidizing wood facilities when we should be investing in #communities to prepare for #fire? Every $1 spent on #mitigation saves $6 on future disaster costs. View and share this 2018 FEMA fact sheet for more information on how mitigation saves: www.fema.gov/sites/defaul...

What's the biggest myth about wildfires that you've heard?

1️⃣ "With more firefighters and fire suppression, we can stop all fires."
2️⃣ "Logging can protect homes from wildfires."
3️⃣ "High-density forests cause megafires."
4️⃣ "Fire destroys ecosystems."

Logging has been falsely sold as #fire 'prevention,' but the reality is that #logging creates hotter, drier, and windier conditions that spread fire faster towards communities.

Real solutions focus on home hardening, not forest destruction.

Welcome to the antidote to “megafire” solutions. The truth? It’s not about stopping fire — it’s about coexisting with it.

Hardening homes 🚫not🚫 hacking forests.
