In my case, use an excavator and knock down and remove all trees and debris the fire will burn. As wide as you can make them-80 feet or so. Stir the ground up. etc.

In some cases, they have excavators and bulldozers behind the fire removing the burning snags.

I got freinds working the Car fire (Redding) the Ferguson fire (Yosemite) and a couple up by Ely Nv someplace.

They are calling crews in from all over the world.
