"We are putting an impossible burden on responders, to expect them to be able to deal with fire of this intensity and this speed."
Former firefighter Lindon Pronto tells ＠SkyYaldaHakim communities must take on individual responsibility to reduce fire damage - such as considering what building materials they use.
But he said it's the "lack of institutional support" that prevents them from working together.

German authorities must stop their crackdown on speech and protests and the discriminatory restriction of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

Ring camera footage of the Eaton Fire as it ravaged entire neighborhoods. This gives you a good view of how easily and rapidly the fire spread. Embers travel far out from the main fire, causing exponential spread.

🇵🇹PORTUGUESE POLICE ARREST 14 SUSPECTED ARSONISTS AMID WILDFIRES
Portuguese police have arrested 14 suspected arsonists linked to the deadly wildfires ravaging the country.
The fires, worsened by climate change and rural depopulation, have overwhelmed fire response efforts.
Experts point to neglected vegetation, once maintained as firebreaks, as a major factor in the fire's spread.
Lindon Pronto of the European Forest Institute warned that without intensive landscape management, the situation will remain explosive, despite increased firefighting investments.
The government is urged to resume clean-up efforts initiated after the deadly 2017 fires.
