I'm a construction project Manager, that house left untouched was built with concrete. That was the only thing that saved it!

[@Chef-vg4pu]

I work for a reasonably small plumbing company in San Diego and was sent to do a special job near the edge of the desert, the house was interesting to say the least, but the man that was building it for himself said everything around here could burn up and I want my house to be exactly the same as when we finish it.. It was all concrete but very tastefully done beautiful tiles very mid-century modern, but it had everything to do with being in a fire and he knew it. He had special metal blenders that would roll down and encapsulate that building and then he had trenches with ventilation in four different directions going 100 yards in each direction so that he could have clean air, with the click of a switch. I don’t know how much money he paid for the house to be built, but I know it was a lot a real lot… There’s a movie with Bruce Willis and I can’t remember the name of it but the house was just like that, except that it was in a wooded area. And if you didn’t know it was there you would never know that it was there, rich people I would do the same thing if I had the money a little place off the grid. Except his was 3000 ft.² with a beautiful view.

Living in east county in San Diego county, been evacuated a few times during fire storms. Waited as long as we could hosing everything down and left the hoses running out front, left and fled and watched from a distance and I seen a fire tornado near our home. Somehow cal fire saved our house, incredible work by them. When evacuations were lifted and we were allowed to return home, there was a fire truck still parked in front of our home hooked up to one of our garden hoses to fill their truck. My mom made the firefighters sandwiches and gave them cold waters and sodas after they told us they were gonna be there thru the night to keep mopping up everything until morning. They were really nice and appreciative.

I did fire mitigation work for several years and did some work in California. I was hitting up local bars on our days off and getting to know locals that lived there and got a pretty interesting reaction when they found out we were loggers from Colorado. We were mitigating the forests around a hydro power plant in Placerville and a lot of people got upset we were there cutting trees, but like anything you've got to weed your garden. If you don't, then the vegetation gets out of control. I think in California they have the right intention there in terms of conservation, but in a way they hurt themselves. Regardless, I hope all of the folks are doing ok and I wish them the best of luck. Sympathies from Colorado

As a firefighter I feel their pain. In most municipalities the hydrants can handle only so much flow. They’re designed to flow water for a few houses on fire not 2000. Plus the city residents using their garden hoses. There isn’t an infinite amount of flow, even if there was an infinite amount of supply. Every nozzle that’s opened reduces the overall flow/pressure. There should have been more done to reduce the fire load and make fire breaks. Supply should have been secured long before this winter fire season. A plan should have been in place for a disaster of this size.

[@blogengeezer4507]

As each home burns, each single event opens 'each home's water flow to max GPM. Count the numbers of homes flowing water to the max, and the limited supply, flowing through the countless hydrants, diminishes in GPM, thus can Never meet the demand. ;]

During the Santa Ana winds (which we can predict when they're coming) there should be spotter pilots flying around L.A. County... If a spotter pilot sees a brush fire or anything they call it in and THEN the Ready15 pilots with water loaded (and extra FD personnel in case) are deployed. Palisades fire took 2 hours before any planes were in the area and 40-45 minutes before FD boots on the ground arrived. Simply not at all prepared - which is mind numbing when they knew the winds were coming and the ground was dryer than dry. It's akin to to knowing hurricanes are coming and doing very little if anything to prepare.

[@thedude8526]

[@ebhart3970]

@@thedude8526 the winds weren't ever 100mph. They topped at 65mph in Los Angeles county. The first morning and day of the fires the winds topped at 40mph. That night and next day they were worse topping at 60+mph in some places. Navy Pilots and seasoned commercial pilots can absolutely fly in those winds, they're trained for it. They practice in 30mph some times. Also spotter pilots get paid around $750 per hour. So paying 6-8 pilots round the clock during Santa Ana winds (Who would have seen the fires) would have cost a whopping sum of no more than 300K... Now the damage to Los Angeles is 150B...

Concrete homes or masonry homes are no safer under extreme heat. The air pockets in concrete can actually explode from expansion. I've worked concrete my entire life, and I've seen it happen. Scared the crap out of me when I got hit with shrapnel

[@PianoPatterns123]

Concrete homes are generally considered safer than traditional wood-frame homes in many situations, including fire, hurricanes, and tornadoes, due to their durability, fire resistance, and structural integrity. However, the idea that air pockets in concrete blocks can cause explosions is more nuanced. Here’s a breakdown: Concrete and Heat: 1. Concrete Blocks with Air Pockets: • Concrete blocks are often hollow, but these voids are not “sealed air pockets” that could build pressure and cause explosions. • If the blocks are exposed to intense heat, the concrete may crack or spall (surface fragments breaking off), but this is due to the expansion of moisture trapped inside the concrete, not from sealed air pockets. 2. Moisture Expansion: • If concrete contains moisture, extreme heat can cause the water to turn into steam, creating internal pressure. This is why spalling occurs, particularly in high-temperature scenarios such as fires. This is not an explosion but a localized breaking apart of the material. 3. Structural Integrity: • Concrete is non-combustible and does not ignite or burn, making it far more resistant to fire than wood or other materials. • While extreme temperatures can weaken concrete, the overall structural integrity of a concrete home often remains intact compared to wood or steel structures that may collapse sooner under the same conditions. Concrete Homes vs. Other Homes: • Fire Resistance: Concrete homes are far superior to wood-framed homes in withstanding fire. • Disaster Resilience: Concrete homes are also highly resistant to wind and debris impacts, making them safer during hurricanes or tornadoes. • Thermal Resistance: Modern insulated concrete forms (ICFs) improve thermal performance and further enhance fire resistance. Exploding Air Pockets Myth: • The idea of “exploding air pockets” is likely exaggerated or misunderstood. Spalling due to trapped moisture is a real phenomenon, but it is not comparable to an explosion that would compromise the safety of the home. In conclusion, concrete homes are significantly safer than many traditional construction methods, and concerns about air pockets “exploding” under heat are largely unfounded or misinterpreted. Proper construction and materials can further enhance their safety and durability.

@ Are you aware of the amount of biomass there is in all the wild areas of California? Clearing brush, or raking the forest, is a monumental task. That and prescribed burns are more complex than most recognize. First you have to consider what land is being burned. Is it federal, state, county, city, or private. Having prescribed burns on private property can lead to some serious liability issues. Also consider that conditions have to be ideal for doing a prescribed burn, especially when conducted in the urban/wild land interface. People don’t just wake up in the morning and say, Hey!
