I agree with everything in this article. I see wood mulch as a decoration, nothing more.
It's a huge fire hazard in forest fire prone areas. Basically like surrounding a house with fire starter.
All depends on your climate. I haven't mowed most of my backyard in two years, can't even walk back there. That's far more of a fire hazard than were it covered in mulch.
