I was reading John Shoustra's most recent update on his recovery after the Mountain Fire and one thing he said, in particular, stood out to me. Read in the attachment what he says about mulch. It pretty much reinforces what we (APLD CA) were saying, most specifically Greg Rubin, in the Slow the Burn Symposium about mulch being a good thing to have, not a bad thing. This sort of real, post-fire observation is so important to share with fire and insurance authorities who are making rules and regulations based on much less substantive evidence.
