The bushes are right behind my fence...maybe 20' in length, The large ash is about 10 feet from the fence, stand about 30' and then there are a couple of Jacaranda trees 10' from fence in the back that stand about 30' that are dying and have small dried leaves....combined with the 3"+ weeds and dead grass in his backyard, it would make a good flash fire and who knows what it could lite on fire. His front yard is no better and the side of his garage faces part of my backyard area too.
Along my back fence I have timber bamboo, grapefruit, orange and lemon trees along with natida trees which could all catch fire given the right circumstance. I water heavy so it may not be a problem....just don't want to have to go through it ;)
I have no idea how good our fire fighters are....never had to experience them visiting, but I would say they are most likely good. How fast they could get here, who knows.
