You aren't changing methods of firefighting, your changes are more of a prevention measure in #1....#2 and #3 are pretty much how we have done things for many years

Power line issues in the wind
Human accidental start - chains dragging, welding or cutting when or where you shouldn't ben cat converter parked in the weeds
OR
ARSON
