To live in the foothills on the periphery of the Sierra National Forest is to live with the certainty of summer wildfires. Each year, from April forward, Californians watch the sky and sniff the air for telltale signs of smoke. While fire remains a constant threat, the strategy for combating it has evolved with the understanding of its beneficial role in the forest environment. Marcia Penner Freedman traces the history of firefighting and fire management from the forest's early years through the policy shifts that began in the 1960s and the measures used today.

Marcia Penner Freedman consulted many resources and experts to put together a timely book highlighting the history of fire fighting in the Sierra National Forest and current policies. As a long-time resident of the Sierra Nevada region, fire is one of the 'disasters' I have to deal with every summer. This book is timely in the sense, as California is in its 4th year of severe drought, the forest is showing distress from lack of water and bark beetle infestation. Sadly, the US Forest Service lacks funding to adequately manage such dense growth. Local agencies work hard at protecting our homes during wildland fires, but there is hardly enough money to hire staff to keep our forests healthy.Thank you, Marcia, for helping those of us who live in areas bordering the Sierra National Forest understand natural and man-made forces that helped shape current policies.
