By connecting the right dots to the problem, “Big Fires Start Small” shares results-oriented solutions that can prevent most catastrophic wildfires. It is directed at people living in California because the state is so prone to wildfires that cause havoc to forests, brush lands, and nearby communities.

Thomas Pandola aims to equip Californians with the knowledge to prevent, mitigate, and suppress a wildfire before it becomes a disaster. He provides a scientific explanation of wildfires and the dangers of the smoke caused by them. He educates Californians about the changes that could and should be made to fight wildfires before they become more dangerous and uncontrollable.

The author also urges the citizens and wildfire policymakers alike to adopt a paradigm shift with the main objective of having resources available to attack all wildfires within twenty minutes. His wildfire research and experience assures him that, “We are not helpless in solving the wildfire crisis in California.”

Readers can get a copy of Thomas Pandola’s “Big Fires Start Small: The Case for a Paradigm Shift in California’s Response to Today’s Wildlife Crisis” on Amazon and Barnes & Noble., or wherever they buy their books online.
