just one more reason not to live in California
There is nothing unprecedented about the weather conditions in the 2025 fire.
LAFD: Firefighters Save Building from Solar Panel Blaze in Boyle Heights | August 14, 2024
I heard an LA firefighter being interviewed just about when these fires kicked off, who said that the usual cause of these brush fires was down to the homeless camping and cooking, discarding ciggy ends etc
Designing for disaster starts with staying out of harms way. One can NOT design an affordable building able to endure the wildfires that routinely roar up & down CA’s coastal mountains.
Nor can good forest management prevent chapparal from burning like a giant blow torch. Or, prevent Santa Anna hot winds from intensifying & enlarging wildfires. While the Santa Anna’s blow, chapparal fires burn until Mother Nature puts them out.
FYI, I grew up in CA, and vividly recall a brush fire that scorched grazing land as far as one could see north, south, east & west. Such fires are less powerful than chapparal fires.
My deepest sympathies to Californians who have lost everything. But fire also purifies and if there is any place on Earth that needs purifying it’s Hollywood
