When the smoke clears people will stand aghast at the devastating view of barren, blackened slopes marking the remains of burned timber plantations, adding to the horrific images of the charred ruins of incinerated homes and communities. Both will stand in stark contrast to burned native forests that will be teeming with life next spring. FUSEE has been busy supporting members out on the firelines, and getting the word out to the newsmedia about the root causes of the recent firestorms. We can’t do this work without you, and we cannot thank all of you enough for the support that has been pouring in. Every donation great and small is keeping us going, lifting up our morale, and when things settle down, we will properly extend our sincere gratitude to each and every donor and new member. Our hearts go out to those who have lost everything in these blazes. And we are dedicating ourselves to making the paradigm shift towards Ecological Fire Management that will enable people to work and live safely and sustainably with fire on the land. Towards that end, we draw inspiration from the legendary Mother Jones:
“Mourn the dead, but fight like hell for the living!”
