All I was basically saying was the flat LA basin was not affected by the fires.

No. What you actually did was ask a question: “Why was the L.A. Basin spared from the recent fires.” That’s a question, not a statement.

The wildfires feed on the explosive chapparal that covers the hillsides and ravines, and the Santa Ana winds blow the fires onto the homes which fools build adjacent to those areas. The rest of the Basin doesn’t possess vast expanses of combustible chapparal.

Iow, you had a brain fart and decided to post lol...okay, fine.

The other poster was correct, tho. You're implying there some definite or interesting reason(s) why the basin did not burn.

Probably has to do with wind direction & speed and the availibility of fast-burning underbrush.

Because these were brush fires. Brush grows on the hillsides.
