Could West Coast-Sized Forest Fires Hit New Hampshire Forests?

By Chris Jensen on Tuesday, December 4, 2007.

The fires earlier this fall in Malibu have died, but the pictures are still with us.

Red-orange flames more than 30 feet high.

Aircraft and firefighters struggling as thousands of acres of forests and hundreds of homes burned

That story is common out West.

But even though the North Country doesn’t suffer such disasters, local officials do plan for them.

NHPR Correspondent Chris Jensen has the story.
