In February/March 2001 the crew began treating approximately 330 acres of prescribed burned salt cedar and retreating re-sprouts with approximately 170 acres of the salt cedar that was treated in FY00 in South Canyon.

On the 24 th, CDF and the other fire departments of San Diego County recognized that the burning conditions were ripe for a large fire in the San Diego area also, and issued direction that all stations should stay staffed with the remaining resources with no further assignments accepted for fires outside the county.

 Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
As cedar shake and shingle production uses portions of trees/logs that would otherwise be left lying on the forest floor, it plays an active role in assisting with forest health maintenance.
The block of cedar is moved through the path of the saw by a device called a carriage, which holds the wood firmly, but also alternates the angle of the cut with each stroke.
Cedar shakes are more resistant to hail than many other roof coverings and this is why Certi-label™ cedar is such a good choice for your next roofing project.

 Fire triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fire triangle or combustion triangle is a simple model, from the science of firefighting, for understanding the ingredients necessary for most fires.
Oxygen may be removed from a fire by smothering it with an aqueous foam, or some inert gas (e.g., carbon dioxide, Halon), dry chemicals, or enclosing it where the fire will quickly use up all of the available oxygen.
The fire triangle is a useful teaching tool, but fails to identify the fourth essential element of fire: the sustaining chemical reaction.
