See a theme here? #GoodFire makes our magnificent natural heritage, our homes, our communities, our businesses, and more SAFER from unnaturally frequent and intense megafires.

So then, let's refer to the relatively low-levels of smoke that they generate as #SafetySmoke!

What do you think?

#GoodFire helps to:
- It helps to protect insurance companies from the massive payouts they need to make following megafires, protecting the viability of their businesses;
- I could go on - what favorite examples of YOURS should we add to this list..?

#GoodFire helps to:
- mitigate the megafire-related risks that cause homeowners insurance premiums to skyrocket, making people safer from being unable to afford property insurance;

#GoodFire helps to:
- beat back nasty invasive weeds that cause ecological+economic harm, and to facilitate restoration+recovery of native plant and wildlife habitats (too often, burns aren't designed to achieve their full suite of potential benefits, which can result in unintended consequences);

#GoodFire helps to:
- prevent the kinds of megafires that emit so much choking smoke that the sky turns red;
- make our homes and communities safer from unnaturally frequent & intense megafires;
- protect native plants & wildlife that evolved with fire (set by indigenous stewards for millennia);

Coming soon! My new book focused on observing and journaling about good fire (prescribed burns). New content that’s not in my Pyrosketchology book and much smaller so easier to carry into the field.

This remotely controlled brush-shredding robot is helping the CAL FIRE San Diego Unit fuels crews build and maintain fuel breaks, clear roadside vegetation, and prepare plots for prescribed burns.

It’s a mad dash to put #goodfire on the landscape ahead of increasing fire danger throughout the eastern US! Tricky part will be putting them to bed before this weekend’s wind and heat take hold.

That's me being a burn bitch

Hey that's me!

If it continues to burn surface fuels, this is currently #goodfire. Not knowing the area, I’d be curious to know what natural containment barriers exist and what the spot weather forecast is… If weather and ground conditions align there’s potential for more good fire.

This is #GoodFire at work in Inyo County.

Through CAL FIRE’s Vegetation Management Program, firefighters with the CAL FIRE San Bernardino/Inyo/Mono Unit recently worked on a 1,400-acre fuel-reduction project near Independence.

Wildfire air pollution linked to more than 24,000 annual deaths Risks come from inhaling the smoke, which can travel thousands of miles, a new study said.

Interesting estimate. Anyone else get the sense it could be much higher, particularly during bad fire years?

For communities of the American West, this is where #GoodFire is essential. The #SafetySmoke it generates signifies protection from catastrophic wildfires!

With so many of us needing a reminder of all that IS possible as we work to heal the earth, perhaps this inspiring post can offer you some healing and hope. We WILL prevail against the fascists just as we are prevailing by returning #GoodFire to the land!

Prescribed fire is a well-established, science-based tool that plays a critical role in reducing wildfire risk and supporting long-term resilience.

I'll write about it more on other mediums, but I just wanted to share a cool video of me learning to use a drip torch during a prescribed burn. #goodfire

I'd love to connected with other folks in the so-called Midwest who work with fire, especially BIPOC. Don't hesitate to message me. 🔥

At Pepperwood Preserve's "Learn and Burn" workshops in #Sonoma, volunteers from across the Bay Area are learning how to safely use fire to prevent fire. #GoodFire

With the season changing, #GoodFire continues to play its part in keeping California’s landscapes healthy and resilient.

#PileBurning helps clear out dense vegetation, create space for healthier growth, and reduce the intensity of future wildfires.

#GoodFire takes many forms — including cultural burning.

For Indigenous communities, cultural burning supports ancestral stewardship, restores traditional foods and plant resources, and helps care for the land for future generations.

Recently, I somewhat unexpectedly/organically called doing prescribed burns "microdosing fire" and I'm now trademarking that phrase. 😄🤷🏻‍♀️

This is an example of #GoodFire, fire used under the right conditions, at the right time, for the right reasons. 3/4

The smoke you see or smell may be CAL FIRE conducting prescribed burns—part of our ongoing work to make California more wildfire resilient.

With wildfire activity slowing and weather creating safer conditions, prescribed fire operations increase across the state.
