  12. I tested my #irrigation and #firesuppression solution and it works great. Thank you beavers for digging canals that bring the water 60ft closer to the house! The pump can easily push the water up the hill to the house and there is plenty of pressure for a fire nozzle.

  14. "The immense blazes that roared through much of the country are, in part, due to a legacy of poor #ForestManagement. The #LoggingIndustry has long prized #conifers and has gradually reshaped the landscape with lucrative – but highly #combustible – trees. Decades of #FireSuppression, as well as a shift away from prescribed burns practiced by Indigenous communities, has left much of the forest floor littered with flammable deadfall."

  23. @cnishina You do realize that in the #US a #car catches fire *every three minutes*, right?

    Per mile driven, #EVs are an order of magnitude less likely to catch #fire. Because they're not sitting on a tank of highly flammable liquid with no #FireSuppression systems at all , plumbed up to a hot #engine block and past an #exhaust hot enough to ignite dry #grass and surrounded by friction sources.

    Also, see that "tslaq of the world"? $TSLAQ is a short-seller group.
