Several years ago our community of eight homes on Washington's Orcas Island, northwest of Seattle, had a major wildfire problem: homes on a steep mountainside, south-facing (meaning dry) slopes, a heavy fuel load from major winter blowdowns, brush-clogged roads, just one route in and out, and only several
fire standpipes. Our area has been designated one of the state's potential wildfire hotspots.
