The proposition that radiant heat generated by one burning would set off
an adjacent house is pretty dumb. Fire codes are written to make sure
that houses aren't vulnerable in that way.

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

Are the Santa Annas always offshore? I mean as in *invariably*
offshore?

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

Just another good reason not to waste time trying to argue with him.
Aren't you happier now you don't interract with the damn fool any
more? It was a good idea, that deal we did, I reckon.

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.

Indeed! It would appear the building codes badly need updating to take
the natural, cyclical climate change which is taking place into
account.
