Your dad is a badass! Great interview. You mentioned Topanga being a fire trap. Up north, I worry about Mill Valley & the parts of the Oakland Hills that didn’t burn in the 1991 firestorm. Here in CO at least aspen groves are less flammable than distressed pine. I was running around Monarch Pass yesterday & grateful for the rain as there’s so much dead pine there, it’s highly flammable in dry weather. Pam Houston’s memoir Deep Creek about her ranch in Creede does a deep dive into living through a fire there several years ago—worth reading.
