CONTEST OF TWEETS FOR #TEAMALBRIGHT

FUN CONTEST: TWEET #TEAMALBRIGHT AND WIN GOODIES

A Hashtag (pound sign) provides world-wide tracking of posts, grouping of messages and a searching tool in messages for key topics. #teamalbright is what we use for our Del & Stacie internet presence -- Team Albright. So here's our contest: Tweet #teamalbright (use Twitter and use the hashtag) with what you like about what we do, or what you think is unique, and WIN goodies if we select your Tweet.

Contest ends Monday, 5 pm, October 21st. Winners will be selected based on originality; if your tweet makes us smile; and some arbitrary pulling out of the hat. This is just for fun (and to see how well this Hashtag stuff works). Winners will get to choose from three prizes:

1. Autographed poster of Team Albright, 5x7 or 8x10.

2. Autographed copy of our Landuse and Volunteerism book, mailed free to your doorstep.

3. Bag of stickers and decals (swag). We'll pull a bunch from our partner/sponsor box of goodies and send them to you for your collection (or your kids). ;)

So TWEET away; Tweet #teamalbright and say something that will catch our attention. I will follow your Tweets using the Hashtag from Hootsuite and Twitter. Thanks, Del

MEGA FIRE GENERATION IS HERE!

WELCOME TO THE (UNNECESSARY) MEGA-FIRE GENERATION Living with Wildfire By Del Albright, Retired Fire Chief (NOTE: originally published in 2020, but the situation has gotten worse instead of better. I offer this up again so we can all be part of a better and safer future). 25-30 years ago, a 10,000 – 15,000-acre fire was a huge conflagration. Now, we regularly experience 100,000 - 400,000-acre fires. I would like to offer an explanation based on over 30 years of government service, including 26 years with the fire service, and on my beginning my fire career with a Master’s Degree founded in Prescribed Burning. NO! It is not just global warming (climate change). NO! It is not understaffed or ill-trained firefighters. NO! It is not Mamma Nature getting even with our urban sprawl. NO! It is not careless campers or hunters. NO! It is not kids with matches. YES! It is a combination of many things, but mo...

Four E's of Protecting Access

Proven Formula to Protect Access and Save Trails By Del Albright Saving (and sustaining) a trail system, protecting access and keeping our off-pavement motorsports alive and well boils down to a proven formula: Engineering, Education, Enlisting and Enforcement. In the simplest of terms, that means 1) design it right; 2) let people know the rules and how to help; 3) get involvement from as many and varied users as you can; and 4) use trail patrols and if needed, law enforcement officers to ensure the rules are followed. I am borrowing from the fire service all over the country with their fire prevention programs that rely on the three E's -- Engineering, Education and Enforcement. In fire prevention, you design (engineer) a building, house or sub-division in such a way as to minimize the chances of fire. You then educate folks about preventing fires with signs, letters, commercials, school programs and whatever it takes. Then, if that doesn't work, yo...
