He has a chapel on his Estate. I hope that was spared.
It is sad.
We have known how to build fireproof buldings for decades.
Instead, in areas we know are prone to wildfires, we build homes which are vulnerable to fires.
If I had his money, I would have elected for a stone exterior above ground; steel shutters made to easily cover the windows without outside manpower; Steel roof structure with steel beams and steel exterior roofing. The bottom four feet of the ground floor would be earth sheltered. Add significant interior, fire resistant insulation. There would be a fire system to supply the roof with water to cool it during a fire, by running down from the peak, and a drainage system to direct the water away from the house.
Those things do not add much to the cost of a mansion when built in. The make the house very hard to burn down, and esy to heat and cool. They are a good way toward fallout protection.
Mel, it’s a good time to move out of CA.
do it before you start to rebuild.
Judgement from God?
