Depressing. There's a similar problem in California's "fire alleys." Developers cut back the native vegetation to meet Calfire requirements. But that native vegetation is fire-resistant, and tend to get replaced with highly flammable invasive species. Pretty bad planning, I say.
Of course, the solution is fairly simple. Stop building (or rebuilding) in natural fire alleys. Let it the invasives burn, then replant with native fire-resistant brush. Maybe you dan borrow some pink underwear inmates from Sheriff Joe to help out. Hell, get all the inmate you have pulling grass.
