By leaving asbestos dust open to the winds a hazard was allowed to remain unabated. By leaving heavy metals in the debris open to the rain and runoff a source of river pollution has been allowed to continue . I went to the first 3 days after the fire and none of the police or forestry workers were wearing masks even while the fires continued to smoulder.

Fire last summer. From toxins such as asbestos and various metals to important archeological
history, it is incumbent for all concerned that to do a proper recovery, it will take time to establish a sequence which end in a newly rebuilt community hopefully more immune to
the kinds of ravages due to climate change, CO2 build up, and higher temperatures. The restoration of sustainable ecology must go hand-in-hand with economic recovery. So patience is the order of the day, as we build back better.
