Fireproofing Western Communities: a wildfire-preparedness lab
Greg Pryor’s book companion pairs wildfire-preparedness guidance with an interactive play-out of how mitigation work changes a fire-day scene on one property.
- For
- Western homeowners and local fire-safety groups
- Worth noticing
- Its eight-photo walk-through covers the roof, vents, the first five feet around a house, nearby fuels, and a neighbor’s roof.
Field notes
The lab lets visitors set a fire day and parcel conditions, then compare “As it stands” with “After the work”; its displayed rules and numbers are tied to cited book chapters. The example parcel is fictional, and the page explicitly says the play-out is neither a prediction nor an inspection. A separate walk-through asks for eight photos, from roof and vents to nearby vegetation and a neighbor’s roof; photo-based rating is marked as not yet available, so factors must be entered by hand.
