    Gee, I didn't know homeowners were responsible for clearing 600,000 acres of brush around their town.

    "Homeowners do need to take more responsibility," said Westhaver. "Most of these things can be accomplished by homeowners with a rake, a pair of pruning shears, and a simple understanding of how fire spreads."
    Doesn't sound all that unreasonable to me to expect homeowners to get involved in their own safety. Did you even read the article before you slung shit? Nobody was talking about clearing acres of brush.
