A CONNEXION READER SHARES THEIR SOLUTION TO THE THREAT OF WILDFIRES TO THEIR GARDEN THIS SUMMER After reading your recent article on drought crisis and wildfire threats, I thought I would
pass on a project I undertook to contain a small garden fire until the pompiers arrive on the scene. Our house has six outside taps with garden hoses. I fitted all of them with quick release
couplings of the same size. I also purchased coupling connectors so that I could connect several hoses together if needed, and added inexpensive plastic nozzles. This all worked so well
that I did the same thing to my neighbours’ hoses. This is a simple, fast and cheap way to build the first line of defence in case of a fire. I hope you will pass it on to your readers.
