And then the Army Corps came in and they completed all their phase two debris removal.

The Small Business Administration came in and approved billions of dollars worth of disaster aid for Californians who in so many respects are still waiting to rebuild.

These prescribed fires, the burns are important, and we want to partner with these states in order to be able to get it done.

And that's the first few points that are most important top of mind on the fire prevention side as it relates to EPA tools.
