"Wildfire Proof Homes" - California Wildfires Couldn’t DESTROY These FIREPROOF Homes!

[@justjamjian]

I cried when I saw the video of that old man who didn't evacuate & hosed water to his entire house to save it bc he didn't see any firetrucks coming to his area. He said in an interview that he may not be able to rebuild or afford a new house & that house is from his parents. AND HE DID IT! His house is fine! All his neighbors' houses are gone

The sad part is the fact these people have to literally risk their lives just to save their house so they have a roof over their heads and don’t become homeless from lack of money. These people should have insurance and we the people should be investigating why the insurance companies dropped everyone and pulled out of California entirely. 😢

[@42meralee]

In the 1970s, we lived in a forested area in Oregon, in a log cabin with a cedar shake roof. The wildfire, started by kids playing with matches, was burning on both sides of our home when we evacuated. We left a running sprinkler on the roof and returned to an intact home.

[@indepthmike5578]

While using quality materials to build homes and make them more resilent they would also be more expensive, personally I think natural landscaping has to changed in communities and along areas where people live along the border with nature, basically only palms and bushes should be planted lawns and over grown dried out grasses and weeds need to be removed and replaced with crush stone similar to what is now commom in the desert south west where it almost never rains.

[@Rogue-Mike]

*"All the above"*

[@timmyg831]

Yeah but don’t expect CA government to do it. If Californians care, they have to take care of it themselves. If they got all their illegals or homeless or inmates to do that work. Cheaper to get inmates to do it, you could pay homeless & illegals to do that for rent & food.

[@biblicalendoftimes9677]

We bought property and built our house in Paradise CA after the fire. We have neighbors on both sides of us that their house survived. Mainly because they kept a defensible space around their house and kept brush clean around the property. Our new house has, fire resistant decking, siding, roofing and fire proof vent screens. We have interior sprinkler system and a 3500 gal storage tank with fire hose attachment. And most importantly we keep a defensible space around our property. This is how homes in California have to be built now.

They always should have been and that defensible space was always something enforced when I was younger. I remember friends saying "oh the city is on my case about the brush. I remember seeing white smoke plumes in the hills for controlled burns. None of that happens now

I saw one today about this house from an architect. The secret she said was a 30” cement firewall at the property line, plus a “fence” extension, made of fireproof materials. The structure had no eves, which allow airflow, and embers, into an attic. Also, tempered glass windows, such as what a car or oven have.

[@pin65371]

The no eves part isnt really a factor. You can have eves without having a vented attic. The roof is vented but not the attic.

If this home is an all vaulted ceiling; there is no ridge vent or otherwise. I’m in a vaulted ceiling house as we speak every single room upstairs is vaulted, and there’s no need for venting.

[@CarsonMcnabb]

I’ll never forget the fires that we had here in Southern California, the Grand Prix fire and the old fire. I know we had crazy fires in recent days but just being young in 2003 and seeing the mountains around us on fire was a hellish scenery I will never forget and I lived in Jurupa Valley, and we climbed on top of one of our local hills to get a view and man It was a site to see to the point where my dad was in shock and I remember that and me being a kid you don’t know what’s going on

[@barbaragodwin6710]

So, money talks. I don't know anybody who has the kind of money to fireproof their home.

[@Mst2750]

Most homes are flammable. Most US home asphalt shingle, plywood pine trusses & framing. All highly flammable. Foam insulation as furniture pillows mattress all filled with foam. Plastics toys utensils containers and clothing shoes casing most electronics, remotes keyboards monitors, encased in plastic trash, cans most filled with plastics. Out rages creating products that are fire hazards. No one monitors

[@rosalindclayton9441]

Pat why is that the trees are not burnt in a lot of pictures houses are burnt down to ashes and trees are still standing????

[@Slick1020]

Trees are 50% water.

[@tompapps7810]

Trees (non dead trees) are actually pretty resistant to fire because they absorb and hold onto moisture (why ppl use dead wood for camp fires, not bark from live trees)

[@michaelodonnell6361]

Just like in northern calif. Energy weapons?

[@selgut464]

There’s one house kind of like a duplex the front house didn’t burn but the one in the back did, the house in the front has the old electric meters and the one in the back had the smart meter, Go figure if that’s another way to ignite the fire.

[@jazamaraz8029]

Because of the moisture in the live trees. Fire wood from a freshly felled tree needs to be seasoned, that is 'dryed out' about 6 months before it will easily burn. Similarly, the wood that is used to make houses has been dryed out and is far more flammable than the wood in living trees.

Men with garden goses saved their homes and neighbors. Apt janitor used pool water to save apartment complex.

[@NickNekko]

How is it possible for that car on the side of the road with no source of fuel for a fire around was incinerated like that? Gas in the tank doesn't burn the entire car like that. Impossible. DEW evidence right there. 😳

Rob is your AI!!!!!! Love you guys all the best

[@rodangomez2132]

Fire proof homes?😂Tim Dillon already predicted this

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

All these tiny homes we see advertised

[@wolfwalker5924]

Solution: remove laws causing fire spread. Require every home have a large pool, 2 generators and 2 pumps all capable of stopping a fire. Check annually with auto inspection.Use grey water to water yard all the time. Require waterless toilets.

[@ajwright8710]

There's a guy in a California prison now who set a fire in the Banning Pass that killed 5 firefighters.

[@vickilindsey4499]

Sadly, these fires took place while most people still had their Christmas trees and decorations up throughout the home. I think the pool pump releasing water on the roof and running down the sides would be great. A metal roof would be great in any high-risk area.

[@poodlescone9700]

The solution is to repeal CEQA, abolish the insurance rate caps and fast track all forest management, fire breaks and reservoir construction.

[@zanderg5264]

This is what I have kept saying for years. Especially when Lahaina homes were untouched that had the concrete sidings etc. And most of those people had the means you’re talking about multi millionaires. I feel stuck because I live in a condo in Southern California in fire zone. We can’t really do anything to our homes structure etc. and the hoa have no money with the insurance going 10x a year since 2 years ago and don’t have any way to authorize these things.

[@2amichaelj]

I've heard all the homes that didn't burn down all did not have the smart meters installed. Coincidence? Maybe but it's strange every home that's intact doesn't have a smart meter.

[@chelsearodriguez919]

Good point Adam

[@Law19157]

Key West has required metal roofs in their building codes on their structures since 1886 when the great fire of Key west destroyed large portions of the city. They haven't seen a disaster like that since. Stucco sidings are great but they only last for an hour, I think a water system that allows for water to fall all along the sides of the structures like a small water fall with the water collected in gutters at the bottom for reuse to provide constant flow of the water fall without the need for more water would work better. California homeowners also have to stop planting non natives grass, trees and plants around their property. The golden grass on California hills is an invasive species that's dry and highly flammable that is the primary source of fuel for the fires in the Pacific Palisades area and that grass covers California hills because early Spanish settlers planted that invasive grass for their livestock and now look at the disaster that's resulted from it. This is why you should never plant any moss, grass, plant or tress that aren't native to your area, you never know the harm that it could cause later down the line.

[@darlenemiller3239]

If any child buys fireworks parents should be accountable, especially in California where there’s empty fire hydrants and they find you if you park next to one.

[@FryTheKiddo]

TALK ABOUT THE RESNICKS!

[@MrVoiceFactor]

SMART CITIES, Vinnie is correct 18;15 mins range!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JoshuaFrick3]

@Valuetainment don't stop what's working for ya'll. Just a note. Ya'lls video clips are usually pretty long. In the 20 plus minute range, I rarely make it through the entire clip. By comparison, Joe Rogan's clips are usually in the 8 to 15 minute range. What I find interesting is when you pull up these stories and videos, PBD rushes through the photos/videos and reads the copy like the 1980s Micro Machines ad guy. Just talking a mile a minute. Rogan doesn't do that. He has a 3 hour podcast, and he'll drill down on a topic that he's interested in. Sometimes it makes my head spin trying to understand what is in this story that PBD wants us to focus on. I wouldn't flash back & forth so much. I wouldn't read through the story so fast. Rogan has proven that people will stay & listen to content that they find interesting. For example, I clicked on this video because I found the topic interesting. Watching it now. I'm a bit confused. You're going through the topic too fast.

[@TravelInspirationswithRita]

You would think after SO many fires in CA, all these fire preventative measures would be in place all over. Where is all the $ going???

[@prosperity8]

A fire proof concrete home in Maui burned to the ground . It is the same as Maui, weather modification. The houses were burning from inside. Do real research and explain the ashes. Fridges etc burned, glass melted while trees and leaves survived. Trees burned from within but their leaves didn't. Colours that don't burn as much are first blue, green and to lesser extent videod shoe plastic bins, cars and sun umbrellas survive in tact but the houses don't. Plenty of video evidence and research done for Maui. None of the rich lost their homes, estates or gardens in Maui. Most people's insurance don't cover wild fires, insurance policies were cancelled prior to this and renters content doesn't cover wild fires either. Smart cities and huge estates for the rich and famous will be the only housing built. Land grabs are all ready happening. Resources that are no longer covered with housing will be plundered. Much of it by the same companies that's neglect aided the extent of the damage. No consequences usually. The same electricity company whose negligence was held to have caused the fire that killed 84 only got a minor fine and carried in business as usual.
