| #3 In San Diego we've had several deaths from trimmers on Washingtonia (Mexican) Fan Palms: heavy frond skirts, rats and possoms as noted, but the trimmers get smothered by the skirts when doing it wrong |

| #2 I like palm trees. Tried to trim mine on a ladder with a razor knife. Quickly progressed thru heavy denim and a respirator to a Mexican with a chain saw. |

| #1 Yes, it happens all the time in Los Angeles and San Diego as well...under freeways or in river valleys and canyons. These fires may not always be associated with homeless encampments but they usually are. Most of the time they're like the fire in this video, small and quickly extinguished. Most of the time they don't even make the news. It's just another day in paradise. And I like palm trees. I really do. But when they grow that close to a freeway or any other structure and their dry fronds have never been trimmed, they provide great fuel for fires and great habitat for rats. |
