Someone loved them enough to plant 17 bushes at our current house. I will miss them when we move.

Thanks for sharing. It’s interesting to hear more of the story and the widespread, direct withholding of information.

We know there was a lot of aerial retardant application. The extreme fire behavior limited ground crew access over large areas and time periods.

Retardant is very toxic to aquatic organisms (similar to fertilizer) so guidelines stipulate a buffer around waterways.

It seems that we haven’t really evaluated product safety, even in the EIS:
