The Lookout - One Minute Wildfire Lesson - Slope Alignment

First in a series of short videos about wildfire behavior. This video shows an example of how an area's position on the landscape affects its potential for severe wildfire.

My grandfather purchased our family's vacation home in Lake Tahoe in 1970. It was in the evacuation zone for the Caldor fire. We were lucky to have been unaffected. However, I now want to learn as much as possible about fire and fire behavior so I can do as much as possible with our property to protect it against future threats. Your videos are fantastic, please keep them up even after fire season dies down!

Interesting stuff! Just spent four days camping in an old wildfire interface area. Very interesting indeed.
