Everyone, needs to be on high alert. Especially, since these raging fires like the recent ones in California could be set on purpose. Watch for anything suspicious and report it. We must be vigilant and prepared. I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past a specific group, or administration. Just my opinion

Not to mention the threat to native wildlife by people who resent the creatures that were there first, "trespassing" on their land!

It’s known as building in the Stupid Zone. Good luck getting fire insurance.

Also, balloon frame houses are tinder boxes.

Too right - if building codes forced fire-resistant home construction methods the risk would be much lower.

The insurance companies will redline every one of these areas.

Ohh nooo, it would be a shame if someone were to fire all the people who prevent wildfires.....

Showing my home town as the poster child. I’m worried that some day I won’t be able to purchase home insurance.

Due to ridiculous housing policies that prop up detached single-family homes even to the point of them being in danger zones (due to no more space being left in cities) 😃
