That's a really great idea Coast, I normally live in a very high rush area, so having suppression gear is a way of life for us! I have mostly mixed pine and fur at home, but not much under brush, still, the risks are super high. We planted to prevent fuel growth and keep every thing trimmed back about 80 feet, and use leafy trees for summer shade and Doug fir for wind protection. We also have a wet system on the buildings, and a back up pump on standby generator. Wife knows how to use all of it effectively, and has to shelter if it gets bad! We have been really lucky so far, people have a healthy respect for fire danger and it really helps keep every one safe!
