Mr. Pyne, a fire historian at Arizona State University, who has a home in Alpine, a mountain town surrounded by the Apache National Forest, has seen his community install hydrants and organize a volunteer fire department, as well as thin trees around homes. He himself has built a stone walkway around his house, which serves as a fire break. The dilemma, he said, is ''how do you do this so it's attractive, it may be beneficial for wildlife, and it protects your house?'' </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FAB43B84-F022-4CD9-8120-68BADFC3E9A3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
