    That's the whole problem in the U.S. A., the type of house construction. Its a construction for convenience. It is time for concrete in houses to be widely implemented, specially near forests. California has been burning for years, I don't know why L.A. didn't prepared for this!!!

      Well wood houses are only good in ice cold conditions like in Canada not in western north America, it depends on the weather as those areas are prone to fires the weather conditions of that region is prone to fires so concrete buildings or infrastructure must be of fire proof materials ,no one is be blamed as technology advances move on to a better infrastructure investment instead of blaming this one and that one .Think about building infrastructure on planet venus that would a challenge that Russia can do as for NASA they have build improved nuclear powers space shuttles that is their next project nuclear powered space vehicles. 👮🏿‍♀️👮‍♀️👮‍♂️👳‍♂️👳‍♂️👳‍♂️👳‍♂️🕌🕋

    The climate in Southern California is the problem. Not because of any warming or recent change. It's always been that way. Southern California is a windy desert and has been for thousands of years. Only since the 1920s building of dams to make reservoirs and diversion of water from the Mountains of Western US has Southern California become habitable and sustainable for millions of people. Fires have always been a big problem in California, there are many big ones every single year. Water has always been a challenge there, and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

    Despite it's being an earthquake prone country, california needs concrete structures to better withstand fire. Japan also is one the most earthquake prone countries, but they devise better way of quake resisting building structures so that their RCC structures withstand even strong earthquake relatively well. USA can also do just that and prevent constant danger to houses from wild fire.

    I know that you are Indian and that there are no neutral media, but you are among the best out there. Questions: I want your opinion on the following events: the number of Indians fighting with the Zionists in Gaza, and is the government encouraging 30,000 professional Indians to fight against women and children in Gaza? What is your personal opinion on that?
    1- Is the building that did not burn in Los Angeles an Islamic center for memorizing the Qur’an?
    2- What is Egypt’s real role in the events in Gaza?
    3- Why is there no talk about Abdul Rahman Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, as he is one of the prominent figures by virtue of his professional fellowship?

    Why cars and homes where burn first ? The second cause that the fire in California could not be control , could be because lithium-batteries cannot take high temperture which people have in houses, cars, ad with solar panels and where they have them .
    Copy Because lithium-ion batteries
    can catch fire or explode if they are exposed to high temperatures or other conditions that cause them to overheat:

    Hempcrete is good fire 🔥 prevention for upper walls, but firebreaks should not be ruled out, as Beaver Dams with their greens survive like Islands during wildfires that are largely caused by humans. Capturing water into ponds and small lakes can vastly improve landscaping with stunning 😍 greens for wildlife, wet wood does not burn.

    Bad Religion "Los Angeles is Burning" The Empire Strikes First April 27 2004
    Somewhere high in the desert, near a curtain of blue
    Saint Ann's skirts are billowin'
    But down here in the city of limelights
    The fans of Santa Ana are witherin'
    And you can't deny that livin' is easy
    If you never look behind the scenery
    It's showtime for dry climes
    And Bedlam is dreamin' of rain
    When the hills of Los Angeles are burnin'
    Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
    So many lives are on the breeze
    Even the stars are ill at ease
    And Los Angeles is burnin'
    This is not a test
    Of the emergency broadcast system
    Where Malibu fires and radio towers
    Conspire to dance again
    And I cannot believe the media Mecca
    They're only tryin' to peddle reality, catch it on
    Prime time, story at 9
    The whole world is goin' insane
    When the hills of Los Angeles are burnin'
    Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
    So many lives are on the breeze
    Even the stars are ill at ease
    And Los Angeles is burnin'
    A placard reads, "The end of days"
    Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze
    More a question than a curse
    How could hell be any worse?
    The flames are startin'
    The camera's runnin'
    So take warnin'
    When the hills of Los Angeles are burnin'
    Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
    So many lives are on the breeze
    Even the stars are ill at ease
    And Los Angeles is burnin'

    Casinos and gambling in Thailand is a fantastic idea, but it would be incredibly important to have gambling addiction therapy, 12 step meeting groups, and anonymous meeting locations readily available and in place before the problems that come with gambling and alcohol develop. Between the two employment markets involved with gambling(addiction practice education and behavioral healthcare), there are plenty of jobs and it's great for tourism and the economy.

      Plenty of religious groups would blaspheme my support for gambling, suggesting how I dare support gambling, but it is blinding the seeing and healing the blind in one institution, educating the masses in the value of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and education on agitation and rest(a core philosophy in the teachings of Jesus, yin yang, physics etc) in one.

People of india are facing serious health problems created by coal fired power plants, and US states are seeing extreme weather conditions . Upgrading coal fired power plants to nuclear power plants is the only solution to these .
