Just got off the phone with my brother. His house of 29 years is one of those that burned to the ground in Santa Rosa. Absolutely horrible.

Note to Californians - fire resistant xeriscape landscaping; fireproof roofs.

I have always wondered whether it would be possible to create a simple and economical system to quickly cover a house with several feet of fireproof foam in an emergency. If you could get such a system to work, people would buy it.

We ran AFFF systems in race cars. They are maintenance intensive.

Fire proof metal and tile roofs are already pretty big in California. There are a lot of options. If you have a couple extra bucks, Slate works pretty good as well.

I’m down in San Rafael (Marin County), where it’s far removed from Santa Rosa and still pretty safe. Even still, I recall sniffing the air last night and smelling smoke. At first I thought maybe somebody is BBQing really late. I still smelled it at three O’Clock and thought “Who’s using their fireplace full blast around here? They are going to get a ticket. Plus,it’s not that cold.”

I heard what sounded like the light patter of hailstones being sprayed over the grounds. This morning, my car was covered in white ash. The sky remained overcast until about
2pm. Some schools will be closed tomorrow. Much of the school staff lives north of here. Many need to go home and tend to matters where it’s still burning.

Sometimes I wonder if the world truly is coming apart, or if we just know more due to technology.

It’s probably a little of both.

And, then sometimes I know the world is unraveling. It’s coming undone.

I wish I could be more cheerful. But I would not bring a new child into this world.

Masonry construction, metal roofs, and metal roll down shutters should greatly reduce risk. Lots of gravel landscaping near the house, clear the trees back (it looked like a lot of the burned houses there were actually on clear cut land).

One can’t eliminate the danger, but one can affirmatively reduce risk.
