I work for a reasonably small plumbing company in San Diego and was sent to do a special job near the edge of the desert, the house was interesting to say the least, but the man that was building it for himself said everything around here could burn up and I want my house to be exactly the same as when we finish it.. It was all concrete but very tastefully done beautiful tiles very mid-century modern, but it had everything to do with being in a fire and he knew it. He had special metal blenders that would roll down and encapsulate that building and then he had trenches with ventilation in four different directions going 100 yards in each direction so that he could have clean air, with the click of a switch. I don’t know how much money he paid for the house to be built, but I know it was a lot a real lot… There’s a movie with Bruce Willis and I can’t remember the name of it but the house was just like that, except that it was in a wooded area. And if you didn’t know it was there you would never know that it was there, rich people I would do the same thing if I had the money a little place off the grid.

Living in east county in San Diego county, been evacuated a few times during fire storms. Waited as long as we could hosing everything down and left the hoses running out front, left and fled and watched from a distance and I seen a fire tornado near our home. Somehow cal fire saved our house, incredible work by them. When evacuations were lifted and we were allowed to return home, there was a fire truck still parked in front of our home hooked up to one of our garden hoses to fill their truck.

Homes could have been equipped with rooftop sprinkler systems which have been shown to be effective 85% to 100% of the time in previous wildfires depending on conditions. One veteran saved his house by putting sprinklers on his roof. He said you could actually see the demarkation of how close the fire got to his house.
As a person that has installed fire hydrants they are piped in and pressurized. If they don't work that means they were turned off at the valve before the hydrant.
I did fire mitigation work for several years and did some work in California. I was hitting up local bars on our days off and getting to know locals that lived there and got a pretty interesting reaction when they found out we were loggers from Colorado. We were mitigating the forests around a hydro power plant in Placerville and a lot of people got upset we were there cutting trees, but like anything you've got to weed your garden. If you don't, then the vegetation gets out of control. I think in California they have the right intention there in terms of conservation, but in a way they hurt themselves. Regardless, I hope all of the folks are doing ok and I wish them the best of luck. Sympathies from Colorado
There a vid of an old guy explaining just that visually. Because of conservation efforts, the forest became overgrown that it now harms the colossal trees in the forest, whether by outcompeting for water or the trees now being vulnerable to fires due to the excess fuel
Sad feelings mean more than safety. No other state really has issues with it. We have hunting seasons for basically the same reason. To many things get devastated because of lack of control.

I'm now out working on these fires. My first shift was 30 hours nonstop. I had 8 hours off followed by a 24-hour shift. My shortest shift this week was 16 hours. I'm fatigued, but we received word that we'll be returning home in the next several days.
750k for incompetence? she should return every single penny to the city, every single penny she made during the time she was held in office and all of the money she makes as a consequence of her being in office.
I think any person who works for the government and is caught doing anything corrupt should get life in prison or worse. We should not F around with those jobs and give them the fullest extent of the law if they choose to break it. They are there to protect us. It's a serious job and we need to scare any scam artists or con artists away from those positions.
I'm from the Pacific Palisades and fires are very common. I lived their for 15 years and like he said, the thought of this kind of destruction from a fire never crossed my mind, my family's or anyone I knew. Even if it did cross their minds, we never talked about it because we were all worried about the great San Andreas earthquake, which probably would have caused this kind of destruction or worse; and it can still happen. So now, on top of the great fire of 2025, we may have a great earthquake, which is overdue and will affect many more communities. Including those affected by the Eaton, Hurst and Auto fires; very sorry for what happened to everyone there as well, I am praying for you.
I was just thinking that same thing last night as I was watching news coverage. All LA needs now is the double whammy of a serious magnitude earthquake. I hope everyone you know from there is safe.
I lived in palisades and I always knew this was a possibility. I got nervous whenever we had Santa Ana winds when we were in middle of drought. Any place in midst of a drought and 70 mph winds is susceptible to these types of fires.
Ah, the good ol' days of the Governator, when at least he made good efforts, or talk, towards putting the wildfires out, which weren't cataclysmic on his watch. To think Newscum is far less qualified than action figure-made politico Schwarzenegger is... frightening.
It’s not just a lack of water in the fire hydrants. When they let all of the fire, brakes, and logging roads grow over, it turned into one giant matchbook. Instead of a bunch of different sections that were separated, so the fire couldn’t jump.
Fire breaks are jumped regularly in extreme wind events. There are no logging roads in brushland. Fire hydrants aren't meant to fight massive wildfire with every hydrant available spraying at full force simultaneously, but they had water for over 12 hours before they lost pressure and were still losing the fight badly.
@BenMJay German here. Funny enough, Germans below the age of ~35 use English words for everything nowadays. Fremdscham is "cringe" in German. See what I did there. German kids don't even call their parents "Mama & Papa", but mom & dad. Nobody wants to be German anymore, being German is bad in their crazy world.
As a firefighter I feel their pain. In most municipalities the hydrants can handle only so much flow. They’re designed to flow water for a few houses on fire not 2000. Plus the city residents using their garden hoses. There isn’t an infinite amount of flow, even if there was an infinite amount of supply. Every nozzle that’s opened reduces the overall flow/pressure. There should have been more done to reduce the fire load and make fire breaks. Supply should have been secured long before this winter fire season. A plan should have been in place for a disaster of this size.
As each home burns, each single event opens 'each home's water flow to max GPM. Count the numbers of homes flowing water to the max, and the limited supply, flowing through the countless hydrants, diminishes in GPM, thus can Never meet the demand. ;]
Exactly! The fire hydrants & pressure were the just the 7th 8th domino's to fall. Irrelevant. The first domino's were the poor forest maintenance & the empty reservoirs & the routing of water to the ocean vs capturing the water.
Thank you….. I build water infrastructure for a living. These two jabronis don’t know shit. No water infrastructure can handle wild fires like that. That’s why we attack fires through the air. These two just want to politicize.
California also has the #1 homeless population and the 5th highest crime rate in the country. California is a playground for the rich and a hellscape for the average person.

2 people in their 80s managed to save their home with garden hoses. They were on a hilltop and the whole rest of their hood is ashes. Grandpa went to the hospital for minor burns, he will be ok.
Stocktonian Central Valley dweller here. It's not about the smelt. It's about the encroachment of the ocean into our aquifers and ag land. The rivers going out keep the ocean from destroying where most of the country's rice, tomatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes, pistachios, walnuts, and pomegranates grow. I now live outside of Lodi, which is second only from Napa valley for wine. There is a two thousand acre orchard across the street, and the land behind me us in winter wheat, then it becomes kabocha squash in the fall. We have been at war to keep our water, so that we may save our livelihoods, and keep the food coming. Why don't people stop putting houses where they are in danger. The southland has drained the Colorado, and killed the Owen's river valley. San Diego desalinises, and so should the rest of So Cal. Stop developing. Make mandatory fire brakes around homes. Use fire retardant materials to rebuild.
Santa Cruz here. We do have mandated fire breaks....seems mostly comes from the insurance companies, which drop us anyway. We just got 3rd highest rating in the country with the national Fire Wise.....with help of Cal Fire and State subsidized help for things like chippers. The community is also totally involved. I keep hearing these morons on here saying nothing is being done. Usually some texasshole. That said...near you, sort of, I saw them take out thousands of pine beetle kills, looked really safe and nicely managed...then the creek fire started up and all burned anyway. Hard road ahead for us all. Cheers from the coast
During the Santa Ana winds (which we can predict when they're coming) there should be spotter pilots flying around L.A. County... If a spotter pilot sees a brush fire or anything they call it in and THEN the Ready15 pilots with water loaded (and extra FD personnel in case) are deployed. Palisades fire took 2 hours before any planes were in the area and 40-45 minutes before FD boots on the ground arrived. Simply not at all prepared - which is mind numbing when they knew the winds were coming and the ground was dryer than dry. It's akin to to knowing hurricanes are coming and doing very little if anything to prepare.
@@thedude8526 the winds weren't ever 100mph. They topped at 65mph in Los Angeles county. The first morning and day of the fires the winds topped at 40mph. That night and next day they were worse topping at 60+mph in some places. Navy Pilots and seasoned commercial pilots can absolutely fly in those winds, they're trained for it. They practice in 30mph some times. Also spotter pilots get paid around $750 per hour. So paying 6-8 pilots round the clock during Santa Ana winds (Who would have seen the fires) would have cost a whopping sum of no more than 300K... Now the damage to Los Angeles is 150B...
I like the idea but I might add instead of using pilots in planes I would opt for using drones as I’d imagine they would be able to survey larger areas way more efficiently than a plane.
You put a fish, a mouse, and an owl before people. You gambled, voted, that everything would be a perfect world. You rolled the dice, put yourself and others last, and rolled snake eyes.
The smelt is in San Francisco Estuary, that is in a river nearly 300 miles away, if you think they could have used water from there for LA fires, then I am sorry to tell you, that you may have severe brain damage.
Ironically, the point that woman (?) makes in that fire department video they talk about at 3:09 where she says "people are more comfortable when they're around people that look like them" is the exact same argument that they used for Jim Crow segregation 😂😂
Concrete homes or masonry homes are no safer under extreme heat. The air pockets in concrete can actually explode from expansion. I've worked concrete my entire life, and I've seen it happen. Scared the crap out of me when I got hit with shrapnel
Concrete homes are generally considered safer than traditional wood-frame homes in many situations, including fire, hurricanes, and tornadoes, due to their durability, fire resistance, and structural integrity. However, the idea that air pockets in concrete blocks can cause explosions is more nuanced. Here’s a breakdown: Concrete and Heat: 1. Concrete Blocks with Air Pockets: • Concrete blocks are often hollow, but these voids are not “sealed air pockets” that could build pressure and cause explosions. • If the blocks are exposed to intense heat, the concrete may crack or spall (surface fragments breaking off), but this is due to the expansion of moisture trapped inside the concrete, not from sealed air pockets. 2. Moisture Expansion: • If concrete contains moisture, extreme heat can cause the water to turn into steam, creating internal pressure. This is why spalling occurs, particularly in high-temperature scenarios such as fires. This is not an explosion but a localized breaking apart of the material. 3. Structural Integrity: • Concrete is non-combustible and does not ignite or burn, making it far more resistant to fire than wood or other materials. • While extreme temperatures can weaken concrete, the overall structural integrity of a concrete home often remains intact compared to wood or steel structures that may collapse sooner under the same conditions. Concrete Homes vs. Other Homes: • Fire Resistance: Concrete homes are far superior to wood-framed homes in withstanding fire. • Disaster Resilience: Concrete homes are also highly resistant to wind and debris impacts, making them safer during hurricanes or tornadoes. • Thermal Resistance: Modern insulated concrete forms (ICFs) improve thermal performance and further enhance fire resistance. Exploding Air Pockets Myth: • The idea of “exploding air pockets” is likely exaggerated or misunderstood. Spalling due to trapped moisture is a real phenomenon, but it is not comparable to an explosion that would compromise the safety of the home. In conclusion, concrete homes are significantly safer than many traditional construction methods, and concerns about air pockets “exploding” under heat are largely unfounded or misinterpreted. Proper construction and materials can further enhance their safety and durability.
Yeah I agree. The house may look good from the street afterwards but guaranteed the concrete cracked from the heat and likely has to come down. Imagine what an ICF building looks like when the styrofoam outside and plastic webbing inside burn and melt away. Not great.
It’s crazy our perspective vs some people that live in LA and how much we forget how big LA is. I have a friend who lives in the valley and he’s acting like nothings happening saying it’s “an hour away” even though technically he is in LA

You mitigate these fires by REMOVING THE BLUE GUM EUCALYPTUS TREES. They're some of the most inflammatory trees on the planet and most of Cali is covered in it after they were imported starting in the 1850s. Don't get me wrong, you also have water in your fire hydrants but it starts by removing the flammable material first.
The wind and dry climate is the bigger issue. No matter what vegetation grows there it will be a problem. Fires have been burning there for thousands of years.
Spot on. This is what caused the devastating fires in South Australia a few years ago where residents were in the sea with embers and debris blowing over them. It was pitch dark in the daytime. They were eucalyptus trees SO inflammable it's the resin that burns so hot which is why it makes great firewood
@@oldsoul3733the chaparral ecosystem has fire resistant seeds as they’ve evolved over 1000s of years in that ecosystem. Their root systems are deep in the whole landscape and canyon. They need to build fire resistant communities if they want to continue living in a fireplace.

I did fire mitigation work for several years and did some work in California. I was hitting up local bars on our days off and getting to know locals that lived there and got a pretty interesting reaction when they found out we were loggers from Colorado. We were mitigating the forests around a hydro power plant in Placerville and a lot of people got upset we were there cutting trees, but like anything you've got to weed your garden. If you don't, then the vegetation gets out of control. I think in California they have the right intention there in terms of conservation, but in a way they hurt themselves. Regardless, I hope all of the folks are doing ok and I wish them the best of luck. Sympathies from Colorado
There a vid of an old guy explaining just that visually. Because of conservation efforts, the forest became overgrown that it now harms the colossal trees in the forest, whether by outcompeting for water or the trees now being vulnerable to fires due to the excess fuel
@@joeyno137 In MO we do controlled burns, after a few weeks when you drive by it is bright green and looks great.

I'm from the Pacific Palisades and fires are very common. I lived their for 15 years and like he said, the thought of this kind of destruction from a fire never crossed my mind, my family's or anyone I knew. Even if it did cross their minds, we never talked about it because we were all worried about the great San Andreas earthquake, which probably would have caused this kind of destruction or worse; and it can still happen.
So now, on top of the great fire of 2025, we may have a great earthquake, which is overdue and will affect many more communities. Including those affected by the Eaton, Hurst and Auto fires; very sorry for what happened to everyone there as well, I am praying for you.
I was just thinking that same thing last night as I was watching news coverage. All LA needs now is the double whammy of a serious magnitude earthquake. I hope everyone you know from there is safe.
I lived in palisades and I always knew this was a possibility. I got nervous whenever we had Santa Ana winds when we were in middle of drought. Any place in midst of a drought and 70 mph winds is susceptible to these types of fires.

thanks Joe, i thought i was the only one that remembered Schwarzenegger saying that.
Ah, the good ol' days of the Governator, when at least he made good efforts, or talk, towards putting the wildfires out, which weren't cataclysmic on his watch. To think Newscum is far less qualified than action figure-made politico Schwarzenegger is... frightening.
It’s not just a lack of water in the fire hydrants. When they let all of the fire, brakes, and logging roads grow over, it turned into one giant matchbook. Instead of a bunch of different sections that were separated, so the fire couldn’t jump.
100 + mph winds are a hard thing to fight
Fire breaks are jumped regularly in extreme wind events. There are no logging roads in brushland. Fire hydrants aren't meant to fight massive wildfire with every hydrant available spraying at full force simultaneously, but they had water for over 12 hours before they lost pressure and were still losing the fight badly.

So many chimney stacks surviving....Build in brick / concrete
As a firefighter I feel their pain. In most municipalities the hydrants can handle only so much flow. They’re designed to flow water for a few houses on fire not 2000. Plus the city residents using their garden hoses. There isn’t an infinite amount of flow, even if there was an infinite amount of supply. Every nozzle that’s opened reduces the overall flow/pressure.
There should have been more done to reduce the fire load and make fire breaks.
Supply should have been secured long before this winter fire season.
A plan should have been in place for a disaster of this size.
As each home burns, each single event opens 'each home's water flow to max GPM. Count the numbers of homes flowing water to the max, and the limited supply, flowing through the countless hydrants, diminishes in GPM, thus can Never meet the demand. ;]
Exactly! The fire hydrants & pressure were the just the 7th 8th domino's to fall. Irrelevant. The first domino's were the poor forest maintenance & the empty reservoirs & the routing of water to the ocean vs capturing the water.

During the Santa Ana winds (which we can predict when they're coming) there should be spotter pilots flying around L.A. County... If a spotter pilot sees a brush fire or anything they call it in and THEN the Ready15 pilots with water loaded (and extra FD personnel in case) are deployed. Palisades fire took 2 hours before any planes were in the area and 40-45 minutes before FD boots on the ground arrived. Simply not at all prepared - which is mind numbing when they knew the winds were coming and the ground was dryer than dry. It's akin to to knowing hurricanes are coming and doing very little if anything to prepare.
How are the pilots going to fly when there's 100 mph winds blowing them around? That's dangerous as hell.
@@thedude8526 the winds weren't ever 100mph. They topped at 65mph in Los Angeles county. The first morning and day of the fires the winds topped at 40mph. That night and next day they were worse topping at 60+mph in some places. Navy Pilots and seasoned commercial pilots can absolutely fly in those winds, they're trained for it. They practice in 30mph some times. Also spotter pilots get paid around $750 per hour. So paying 6-8 pilots round the clock during Santa Ana winds (Who would have seen the fires) would have cost a whopping sum of no more than 300K... Now the damage to Los Angeles is 150B...
That's a Great
Idea
I like the idea but I might add instead of using pilots in planes I would opt for using drones as I’d imagine they would be able to survey larger areas way more efficiently than a plane.
There’s 100s if not 1000s of fire watch towers that are unmanned and unused and haven’t been used in at least 15yrs… it’s sad tbh

Concrete homes or masonry homes are no safer under extreme heat. The air pockets in concrete can actually explode from expansion. I've worked concrete my entire life, and I've seen it happen. Scared the crap out of me when I got hit with shrapnel
Concrete homes are generally considered safer than traditional wood-frame homes in many situations, including fire, hurricanes, and tornadoes, due to their durability, fire resistance, and structural integrity. However, the idea that air pockets in concrete blocks can cause explosions is more nuanced. Here’s a breakdown:
Concrete and Heat:
1. Concrete Blocks with Air Pockets:
• Concrete blocks are often hollow, but these voids are not “sealed air pockets” that could build pressure and cause explosions.
• If the blocks are exposed to intense heat, the concrete may crack or spall (surface fragments breaking off), but this is due to the expansion of moisture trapped inside the concrete, not from sealed air pockets.
2. Moisture Expansion:
• If concrete contains moisture, extreme heat can cause the water to turn into steam, creating internal pressure. This is why spalling occurs, particularly in high-temperature scenarios such as fires. This is not an explosion but a localized breaking apart of the material.
3. Structural Integrity:
• Concrete is non-combustible and does not ignite or burn, making it far more resistant to fire than wood or other materials.
• While extreme temperatures can weaken concrete, the overall structural integrity of a concrete home often remains intact compared to wood or steel structures that may collapse sooner under the same conditions.
Concrete Homes vs. Other Homes:
• Fire Resistance: Concrete homes are far superior to wood-framed homes in withstanding fire.
• Disaster Resilience: Concrete homes are also highly resistant to wind and debris impacts, making them safer during hurricanes or tornadoes.
• Thermal Resistance: Modern insulated concrete forms (ICFs) improve thermal performance and further enhance fire resistance.
Exploding Air Pockets Myth:
• The idea of “exploding air pockets” is likely exaggerated or misunderstood. Spalling due to trapped moisture is a real phenomenon, but it is not comparable to an explosion that would compromise the safety of the home.
In conclusion, concrete homes are significantly safer than many traditional construction methods, and concerns about air pockets “exploding” under heat are largely unfounded or misinterpreted. Proper construction and materials can further enhance their safety and durability.
@@PianoPatterns123 regardless of if this was an ai assisted comment, I appreciate it. Very insightful 🫶
Try fire resistant concrete
Even if it's not touched by fire, the heat from the fires around it, will cause it to explode
Yeah I agree. The house may look good from the street afterwards but guaranteed the concrete cracked from the heat and likely has to come down. Imagine what an ICF building looks like when the styrofoam outside and plastic webbing inside burn and melt away. Not great.

The wind and dry climate is the bigger issue. No matter what vegetation grows there it will be a problem. Fires have been burning there for thousands of years.
