Guessing they no longer teach about the three pigs of old?

It's nothing to joke about. Did disaster assistance years ago for a similar event, only in that one three people died. Two while they were running down the street trying to escape.

Just awful - lost everything. One disaster after another.

Looking at those photos, I'm reminded of the sole house in the 1993 Laguna Beach fire that didn't burn. Fine Homebuilding Magazine did a story about that house and how the owners and builders incorporated a lot of fire prevention design techniques that obviously worked. Mass built tract homes don't use those techniques which aren't all that expensive, but out of reach of the average tract home subdivision.

It’s awful. My wife’s sister and her daughter lost everything but the clothes on their backs and one car. Nothing left on their lot but a hollowed out basement t foundation.

The originating web site has far more pictures and references to the politicians than information about the fire.

does this city/county have building codes?

asking for a friend

phtml is your friend:

Insulated Concrete Homes with metal roofing would not have burned. The grass fires could have been far less of a problem if a bulldozer had buried the grasses under a thin layer of soil. As soon as the drought started the bulldozers could have been busy at work. There have been throughout history a problem of stick built buildings which burned down. Steel, concrete, and brick are better than wood.

Damn, burnt everything except the sidewalks and streets.

A guy on a Mustang (car) FB group jumped in his 69 Mustang Mach 1 428 r code and drove out but lost 3 other collector cars (not insured because he never drove them or they were apart) and his 40 year NOS Mustang parts stash worth 75k not insured.

There is an obvious problem with the building codes and not much more.

this area got 10” of snow last night and temps dipped into the low teens and winds have stopped for now ... just so sad that all of that didn’t happened 48 hours earlier ...

Boulder is a very Progressive city.

in re the 3 little pigs

My thoughts also. Seems they built all the houses and chimneys of wood.
