Fine. Moved a few of the "foundation plants" near my house into pots, so they are portable (a few small coffee plants and former houseplants). Procedure will be to move them away from the house when Red Flag Warning conditions appear. In the -0-5 ft defensible space area. #disasterpreparedness #wildfires

The city of Ofunato in Iwate Prefecture has declared that a massive forest fire that had ravaged the city since Feb. 26 has been extinguished. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/08/japan/wildfire-extinguishment-ofunato/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #ofunato #iwate #wildfires

[This is so messed up. The seemingly unlimited capacity of #Felon47 to destroy things of great value is incredible]

Allowing for overlap, Rollins has now designated a total of nearly 113 million acres of NFS land — which amounts to 59% of the total forest land — as an emergency situation, making them candidates for logging and other "emergency actions" to supposedly ensure public safety.

Hmm, I have a lot more fire retardant paint left still, so I guess I will keep on going. (siding is painted, working on eaves). The big issue with paint (as usual) is how labor intensive it is, especially on the undersides of the eaves (up on a ladder, arms up...). After it's all painted, will need to cure for 4-5 days before top coat. Intumscent paint, which provides significant protection from ignition. #random #disasterpreparedness #painting #wildfires

Anyone else in and around Glasgow noticing a haze in the air in the last few hours? Could it be the #wildfires in Galloway, which are now spreading to south Ayrshire?

Here in #Renfrewshire, it's the #weather is sunny, warm for the time of year. But we're starting to see a #haze in the atmosphere. I wonder if it's caused by the #wildfires affecting #Galloway, which have now spread to south #Ayrshire?
