burnable

Brian K. Rice, president of the California Professional Firefighters union, also expressed dismay, noting that nearly half of the state is federal land, including “some of the wildest, most burnable areas of our state.”

If all burnable material on the ground has been removed, a fire should run out of fuel when it reaches a fireline.

Question marks dot the landscape of burnable bushes and pushable boulders, with entire regions left unrevealed.

“Use good judgment and don’t light a fire close to burnable vegetation or overhanging branches,” Starkovich said.

Across burnable lands globally, the annual number of flammable nighttime hours increased by 110 hours over the past four decades — allowing five additional nights when flammability does not cease, the study stated.
