Editors editorial note: Read this unbelievable paragraph in an KCRA news article does this incredibly insane law in Tahoe not fly in the face of the new CAL FIRE defensible space regulations?
Are we beginning to learn the reasons behind this tragedy already?
50 years of forest mismanagement?
"Of about a dozen homes on his street, Neal Cohn's was one of just two that was spared from the flames. He attributed its survival to the fact that he regularly removed fallen pine needles from his property, a practice that is banned and subject to fines by the regional planning agency, which says their removal exposes bare soil and causes erosion, a prime culprit in Lake Tahoe's declining clarity.
'You can see the fire line behind my house where the pine needles stopped,' he said, 'and the neighbors didn't do it.'"
This is the insanity behind this evolving tragedy it will probably take a Dozer line eight blades wide through those pine neeedles to stop this fire now!...Editor
