Sylvara
Hey James, I’ve been watching how the forest’s fire‑resistant plants are starting to change. Have you ever considered using those natural firebreaks in your firefighting plans?
JamesMiller
Hey, I’ve actually started experimenting with those plants on the outer edges of our fire line. They’re a handy natural firebreak when we’ve got the right spacing and water pressure to keep them moist. If you want a quick tour of the test area, let me know.
Sylvara
That sounds great—just remember to keep the moisture steady and watch the wind direction. If you need a quick walk through, I’d love to see how you’re setting up the firebreaks.
JamesMiller
Sure thing. I’ll have the crew set up a small test strip near the northern ridge. We’ll lay the fire‑resistant strips in 30‑foot rows, keep a steady spray from the back‑hand pump, and have a wind monitor right next to the line. When you’re ready, we’ll pull the fire crew out, give the burn a low‑intensity start, and see how the break holds up. Let me know when you’re ready to roll out.
Sylvara
That sounds solid—30‑foot spacing is just right for most of the brush. When you’re ready, I’ll come by to watch the burn start and see how the line holds up. Just let me know the time and I’ll be there.
