That shouldn't be allowed to happen, but the breeze was offshore when
that seaside strip burned.

Sloman snipped my link of course. He does that when reality interferes
with his theories.

There are many pics of the LA fire, and of Paradise and Lahaina.
Houses set houses on fire, leaving rubble and green trees. The fire
codes, and especially enforcement, were criminally stupid in all those
cases.

Our cabin in the mountains is not very flammible from radiation or
grass fires or from embers, and the local enforcement of defensible
space rules are brutal. Steel roof, no gutters, no attic with vents,
first floor is concrete blocks.

We are required to trim tree limbs and remove pine needles and scrub
bushes and such. Housing density is low by design.

There's a forestry department that inspects every property and issues
periodic reports too.

Humans have known about fire for dozens of years by now.
