"Wild fires have been increasing in frequency and ferocity."
Mens Journal August 2014
This is a truth. As a person desiring to campaign for the US Presidency for the years 2016-2024,
This one of many things I would like to address. My slogn "Not Politics as Usual", means even though dirt may be slung my way, I intend to shower off. Part of me says that campaigning for US President should be a popularity race. The only one I have to be popular with is "The Electorate".
But awiser partof me says A United States President has to havegood leadership. Even though truthfully As US President I will have lots of people telling me what to do. On the issue of wildfires, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." From 1993-2013 the cost of battling wild fires has gone from $240,000,000 to $1,800,000,000. This is huge. Being an environmental and social activist means I like to be out in the woods camping out. I have done this a lot. As a libertarian I enjoy my freedoms. When out camping in a woodland I usually build 'Fire pits' instead of open camp fires. The difference is that a fire pit is a hole with rocks surrounding it and oftentimes a metal grating on top. This help reduce the spread of fire in case of wind. But if I were to build a home like the many millions of Americans have in a so called "wooey", (woodland urban interface), "Men's Journal, August 2014." I would definitely take steps to keep my property from being kindling. Such as having a tin roof instead of wood or tar shingle roof. I would probably have a chain link or stone work fence as well. These two things are a good start. These are just acouple of things that ought to be done to inhibit the spread of a potential wild fire.
The state of New Mexico has done a lot of things to reduce therisk of future wildfires, I imagine if California asked, New Mexico would gladly help them with techniques and laws they use to minimize or prevent wildfires. Aswell as showing whatcanbe done to helpreseedburnt out lands.
