People surround their homes with non native vegetation that burns just as well as native stuff. They do do stupid things like build on top of natural chimneys full of brush. 10,000 square foot homes on 12,000 square foot lots. SoCal has been under wind alerts and warnings all week.
Lots of patio furniture clogging the back yards. All that has to happen is really just get one house going on those zero clearance houses. For the conspiracy theorists out there, know how I know you know nothing about fire behavior and fuel loads?


Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Stupid always finds a way.
