I don’t think it has much use to fireproof the houses. They should prevent the fire getting there in the first place. Create fire corridors in the forests. Even a brick house engolfed in flames won’t be a good house anymore afterwards.
Well, I’m here to say that many of us rented homes in Paradise......my rental was on Keffer Lane of Skyway behind Feather River Health Center and it is of course completely gone....up in flames 🔥 Sadly enough it’s impossible for me and all the other THOUSANDS of renters to ever get to go back HOME....Home is truly where your heart is. I lived in Paradise for nearly 20 years.....10 of those years in the same rental home on the ridge of canyon...the most beautiful place I’ve ever lived in my whole life!!!!! My heart is broken for the loss is huge and life will never be the same without Paradise. It will always be considered my home. Now only people who have money, land, power to choose can live their. My home truly is gone FOREVER without ANY replacement along with THOUSANDS of other families who could only afford to rent. Lucky for those who get to rebuild, who got the opportunity to become stakeholders and once again get to have Paradise.
its a matter if Insurance will actually PAY OUT the money. Cause you know Insurance companies will Devalue anything Lost but a Huge amount Most of the times.
Looks like a great series. The company I used to work for provided 1500 beds of workforce housing and following the aftermath of this fire for the clean up/ rebuild effort.
Been a fan for a long time and series like this makes me that much more proud to be a fan I have been in paradise since the fire and watching a community come together and rebuilding there home is truly amazing this old house keep it up
There is a LOT homeowners can do to protect their homes from a wildfire. I switched my attic vents to Brandguard vents, caulked all openings and cracks in the home that embers could have collected in. And many other things, including removing excess brush, and having nothing flammable close to the house. I have a video on this very subject on my channel.
My cousin and great aunt both lost their places in it.. It definitely wasn't easy to watch as someone that grew up heading through Paradise to go to my grandma's in Stirling City.
...not unlike Ask This Old House...they are straying from what once made them must see TV...then again, 40 years is a good run for a TV show.....maybe running out of ideas, etc.?....
I hope these will be energy efficient homes with solar panels, battery storage and an EV charger in the garage. The Climate Crisis is real. Every decision we make should contribute to the solution and not add to the problem. A Net Zero or Passive House design would be nice and set an example for others to follow. You could bring in local builders and show the latest building techniques for energy efficiency and home safety systems. THe solar panels and battery storage will help with all the power outages.
Some trees burned. Some didn't. Some houses burned. Some didn't. This is what happens when you have high winds driving *large* embers over a mile. It's the luck of the draw.
Yes Sir. You are absolutely right, forest management has been blatantly mismanagement by California State officials. If you don’t cut back the forest it will explode. Disease and large fire will always be a problem in California, it just the way of the land.
The government was prevented by various lawsuits or threats of legal action from managing the land. By the people of Paradise, maybe this time they’ll allow controlled burns and thinning cuts.
@@valchacon7 Those forest are owned by the Federal Government, not California. 60% of California is owned by the Feds and most of it is wild/forest land.

There are products that do make the material fire resistant. Pinkshield is a paintable sealant that is fire and mold resistant.
Vulcan Vents DO EXACTLY THAT!

I look forward to the rest of the series!
Looks like a great series! Can't wait
This Old House: Always Doing The Right Thing. ADTRT
If only people raked the forest regularly then fires wouldn’t be an issue
God, it doesnt help that california is still experiencing droughts, and their home prices are ridiculous,

This may be sad but Australia is this times 💯😢
85 people died in this fire
@@davidsquall351 I said it was sad. These fires are hell. But just imagine that multiplied across a country. It's terrible.
Um due to the fires, I don't think anyone should live there
Pinkshield should be used. It is made in Canada and is a sealant for joists, plywood of any kind that is mold resistant and fire resistant

The thumbnail card has a big typo
Good catch.
I can't see it
They fixed it. It said "rebuidling."
sad...
Metal roof only fire protection reservoir s no trees brush near homes...Fire proof siding.
Or no homes allowed there.
I listened to this on the podcast last week. Listening to their stories, eek. Just gut punching.
Too bad the California legislature is all screwed-up, at every level of Government. Paradise is a beautiful place to live for sure.
This is what Australia is going through.
Thize fires are self imposed and can not really be compared
Is there work for another general contractor to bid these poor peoples homes in paradise?
Timber frame houses?
This is really incredible.
Can’t wait to watch
People need to rebuild the city of paradise ca
A lot easier than rebuilding Detroit.
Would you say this was caused by poor forest management or global (human caused) climate change?
Californians: “Fires are normal, you’re going to school today”
rebuild with stone not wood
not in california , earthquake.
0:25 I didn't know Bradley Cooper lives in Paradise, California!
Brad the Pitts He looks nothing like him
I'm sorry, I meant to say Britney Spears.
This is a beautiful place to see. I enjoy documenting the progression and nature here.
So sad what P&G did to them
How can I watch the rebuild of 3 homes on This Old Home?
Hi Jose and Anna, Dr. 'Bonecracker' 🕊
This old house has turned into Frontline. Get back to showing us the things that has kept you on the air for 40 years.
...not unlike Ask This Old House...they are straying from what once made them must see TV...then again, 40 years is a good run for a TV show.....maybe running out of ideas, etc.?....
They’re being produced by the new “woke” generation that never laid a hand on a hammer. That being said, still love Tommy Silva.
I hope these will be energy efficient homes with solar panels, battery storage and an EV charger in the garage.

Is it odd to anyone else that all these structures burnt to the ground but all the trees are still standing there unburnt?
Some trees burned. Some didn't. Some houses burned. Some didn't. This is what happens when you have high winds driving *large* embers over a mile. It's the luck of the draw.
Will they be removing the FUEL LOAD in their own forests this time? or... just let it build up again with ZERO MANAGEMENT?
Important subject, but who is "they?" It's This Old HOUSE, not This Old Forest. Do you expect Roger himself to thin out thousands of acres of trees?
Yes Sir. You are absolutely right, forest management has been blatantly mismanagement by California State officials. If you don’t cut back the forest it will explode. Disease and large fire will always be a problem in California, it just the way of the land.
@@BradThePitts You tell me. Who would do such a thing?
The government was prevented by various lawsuits or threats of legal action from managing the land. By the people of Paradise, maybe this time they’ll allow controlled burns and thinning cuts.
@@valchacon7 Those forest are owned by the Federal Government, not California. 60% of California is owned by the Feds and most of it is wild/forest land.
Another reason not to live in California...
Rebuild Baltimore next.
Well they be on UA-cam?
Love the show. I will be watching.
